I'm not one to judge others without knowing them/all the facts, but this one burned me!!! I watched the announcements of the Octuplets being born, and thought; well it must have happened due to follicle stimulation because no Dr. would do invitro with 8 or more embryos. Yesterday I watched as the experts gave their opinions with the same conclusion I came to. There was no way any of them would have done invitro with that many eggs and they would turn someone away who wanted that, so they also felt it must have been egg stimulation that caused this.

Now this morning I learn that the mother, who is currently living at home with her mother, already has six children (we know nothing about the father)!!!! And here's the kicker...it WAS invitro!!!! Holy Cow!!! I get that there are crazy people out there, so I'm writing the mom off as nuts, but what the heck happened to regulating and having rules about ethics for this for the Drs.??!! What's next...cloning? Know that I have family members and friends that have been helped by fertility specialists, so I know the benefit in using one, but this guy crossed the line. Just MO.

Here's that story on octomom's doctor. Don't recall if I originally saw it here or on another site, so if it's a repeat, I apologize:

I am SO with you on that one, Mindy. Octodummy is her own trainwreck, but he seems to prey on those who NEED to have children.

OK...what the hell kind of screening process does this "baby factory" clinic have? It seems to me that I jumped through many more hoops to get my lap band than this woman did to be implanted.

OMG, this is so true! Many of us had to complete so many requirements before we qualified for the Band. Yet, octo-mom did what to qualify, just paid cash and the rest is history.

Mindsy, I thought seriously about taking my questions to Patty to a PM, but it was not an attack, it was legitimate questions regarding why she believes someone that the majority of us have trouble believing. She brought up points I wanted to discuss that were pertinent to this thread. We went back and forth, but did no name calling!!!

I try not to get into the debate side of things too much with my being a moderator---but thought these were legitimate questions and discussions.

If not, I apologize to everyone here, Patty in particular.

Please note.....I changed your name!!! LOL Mindy to Mindsy!!!!

Sometimes I have dyslexia of my fingers....wonder if I could get $$$ for that affliction????

Kat

I think you should try!

No, Kat, it wasn't you -- it was me. I willingly and gladly take full responsibility. You're probably the most level-headed poster on these boards.

Hey, Kat no apolgy needed. Your post was of value to this thread discussion and I for one am glad to read what you have to say. Nothing that you wrote was demeaning to PG and only put into place a great debate about this National Topic.

Kat rocks!

Georgia 'Octomom bill' would limit embryo implants - CNN.com

A Georgia state senator introduced legislation to limit the number of embryos that can be implanted in a woman's uterus during in-vitro fertilization procedures.

Sen. Ralph Hudgens, a Republican from near Athens, Georgia, said his legislation was inspired by Nadya Suleman, the woman who said she gave birth to octuplets after being fertilized with six embryos -- an unusually high number.

"She is not married," said Hudgens. "She is unemployed, she is on government assistance and now she is going to put those 14 children on the back of the taxpayers in the state of California."

Suleman, 33, had six children before the procedure.

Hudgens' plan, which was co-sponsored by several other senators, would limit the number of embryos a doctor could implant to two for women under 40 years old and three for women 40 or older.

I am not a big fan of more government rules, policies, and laws. Government is already Big, but in this matter, I am all for it.

I never want to hear a story like this in the future and if government can create a policy to help diminish the chanes of this occuring again, then bring on the Law and consequences that go with it!

These babies deserve so much more!
