Nadya suleman is only 33 years old single mom already raising six young children in the small home of her parents. Nadya is a health care worker who became pregnant through invitro fertilization. she felt that six children where not enough for her to raise on her own and decided that she would have multiple embryos to be implanted in her womb without thinking what harm she may have caused to herself or even to the children. she gave birth to eight children on january 26, 2009. if something like this wouldve happened in Great Britain Nadya along with her doctor wouldve been arrested. The laws in Great Britain concerning embryo fertilization only permits/allows two embryos to be implanted at a time. in california they have no rules concerning this matter, fertility clinics as well as doctors that make alot of money can do as they please. Nadya's eight new baby's weight less than three pounds the smallest one is a pound in a half doctors say that these children may have problems growing up. when the babies leave the hospital they will be taken to a three bedroom house in Los Angeles, where there will also be seventeen adults taking care of them. people ask themselves who will pay for this chances are taxpayers Nadya doesnt have enough money and her parents have filed for bankrupcy. the hospital bill for the octuplets and mother is estimated to be around $1.3 million.
i am not trying to state that embryo fertilization is something wrong or something that i am against, but i think that she wouldve done this in a more moderate way she already has six children and had them also by multiple embryo fertilization why did she need so many embryos implanted she is only 33 years old is not married. how would she support these 14 children if not with the goverments help. how much time will she have for them. i wonder if when she gets older she would regret it or give the children up. i think it is child abuse why would you have eight more children when you are struggling trying to raise the six that you already have.

  1. you sort of have to undertstand that the doctor who implanted her with the babies is at fault because he implanted her with 6 of hem and the standard amount is 3. o its not fully her fault.

  2. there are many reasons why I believe this doctor is at fault for implanting her with all those babies, first of all she already have 6 babies who she is not caring for, Her mother begged her 1st doctor not to implant her with anymore babies. She went to this doctor who i believe should lose her license for not sending this woman for a psyh. evaluaton this is cleary someone with a problem. If she is not capable of caring for 6 how can she properly care for 14. I am not worried about her i feel for these children who were severely underweight as per the CNN report Fri January 30, 2009 "The six boys and two girls -- ranging in weight from 1 pound, 8 ounces to 3 pounds, 4 ounces -- are doing well following their Caesarean-section delivery at the Bellflower hospital, doctors said. They were born nine weeks premature" There should be a major concern for birthdefects and also how is she going to care for 14 children giving them the proper love and support. i have 4 children and i feel so guilty at times because they are not getting enough attention from me. this really seem kind of selfish to me.
