It's time for the federal goverment to step in. A single woman who lives with her parents, and her other 6 children, ages 7,6, 5,3 and 2 twins age 2, just gave birth in California to 8 Octopulets, due to the implantation of 8 embryos. Now I can see why this woman wouldn't want to kill children already growning in the womb, and would want to implant all the embryos already developed. Who would want to think that their children would be experiemented on for stem cell research, or adopted out as embryos, or destroyed because of genetic defects, or even frozen into eternity? But there is a solution in Italy, and Germany it is illegal to implant more than 3 embryos at any one time, and all 3 must be implanted in the mother no matter what the gender or the health of the embryo. This is mandated by law. The Italians, and the Germans have none of the hangups of our society in so called personal choice of the government limiting family size in regards to fertility treatments. Three that's it. The rights of the Italian children are also respected since the moment of conception; they are allowed to grow and develop in the mother's womb. For those of you who keep saying this is between the doctor, and the woman, let's hear what one doctor had to say, Dr. James Grifo, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the NYU School of Medicine, said: "I don't think it's our job to tell them(the mother) how many babies they're allowed to have. I am not a policeman for reproduction in the United States. My role is to educate patients." National guidelines suggest that doctors limit the number of embryos implanted to avoid multiple births. Notice these are guidelines; nothing to suggest that doctors will be punished for ignoring these guidelines. No force of law here like in Italy, and Germany. No lawsuits for medical malpractice. The woman claims she had no idea that 8 could develop. Sounds like no doctor really told her that. Oh well, do they get paid by the embryo I wonder? Or do they just think every one will want to abort "the extras." The parents don't take responsibility, the doctors don't, and the government opts out, so who is left to see that a single mother doesn't raise 14 children on fertility treatments alone. Does she get by with government subsidies perhaps? I don't know? Obviously she could afford the fertility treatments. There is a mental condition where some women always have to be pregnant. I believe it is called the Nesting Syndrome. No one evaluated this woman, and that no one included her doctor, for a mental problem called Nesting Syndrome. What anyone can afford to do they do in our American society, from plastic surgery to fertility treatments. Let's bring back common sense to our society.
