I agree, it is.  Glad that they are doing something for these children.

I was thinking that they have been introduced to the glitz and glamor….  so here’s the thing:  They have been shown what they may not ever be able to achieve again.  So now that the film industry is done with them, they just go on back to the slums?  Seems pretty harsh to me..

I was just wondering.   All those children who were flown in from the slums in Mumbai was it?  What happens to them, now that the Oscars are done? 

 

Octomom's Father, Ed Doud, Lands on 'Oprah'

Good Morning Lila…

I was thinking more along the lines of removing the whole works.  It would be difficult to implant if there was no place to do so.

On the topic of the doc’s success rate:  I believe I read in an aricle somewhere on this site that his success was way below average, but with Ms. Suleman, he implanted directly into the uterine lining, thereby increasing the chances of creating a viable pregnancy.  Wish I could find the article again.  It was something about the majority of fertility clinics not following the guidelines for number of embryos I think?

In our age, we are facing some very important questions, simply because science is way too far ahead of ethics.

Let me state up front that I am all for IVF in cases where natural conception is a problem for childless couples.  But in this case, just because we can, does that mean we should?

Where did the money come from?  Her worker’s comp would not have been enough to pay for all this when you do the math, unless the Dr. is the Walmart of the medical community.  Speaking of whom….   WHY do we not hear anything about him?  He is being investigated by the medical community, right?  Is this a case of "taking care of our own"?  I feel he should be investigated VERY publicly, and definitely by an independent, perhaps by someone in the justice system.  There has to be some way of it treating this as a crime.

She certainly needs psychiatric intervention.  You don’t have children to be your little buddies.  Is this a case of OCD gone terribly terribly wrong?  I agree that Mom and Dad would have had had little to no control seeing as how Octo-mom is over 21.  Kick her out of the house?  How do you kick your child out? Especially if your child has your grandchildren’s lives in her (unstable) hands.  I don’t believe in mandatory sterilization, but I’m thinking that it would be a viable, necessary option in this case.

BTW…  she is not the only questionable new mom.  The following, altho not spectacular as far as numbers are concerned addresses yet another issue in the "just because we can does that mean we should" debate.

Just a few of my thoughts.
