The Octuplets

The following comments are those I lifted form the On Line Los Angles today.

Fertility experts have raised concerns about the number of embryos implanted and whether the procedure was within medical guidelines."I cannot see circumstances where any reasonable physician would transfer [so many] embryos into a woman under the age of 35 under any circumstance," said Arthur Wisot, a fertility doctor in Redondo Beach and the author of "Conceptions and Misconceptions.
Doctors probably could not deny treatment to a woman simply because she already has children, he said. However, he added, they should have taken steps to make sure she did not have so many babies at once."I certainly think you can talk to her about it if you feel like she's making a decision that's not in her best interest or the interest of her children," Wisot said. "You can send her for psychological evaluation, but I honestly don't know if you can say, 'No, I won't take care of you because you have too many children.' "
She graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2006 with a bachelor of science degree in child and adolescent development, school officials said. She returned to pursue a master's in counseling, but last attended in the spring of 2008.By juggling school and six children, Frickert said, Nadya Suleman proved to be "a lot more capable than the average person in handling stress."She and her children live with her mother in a 1,550-square-foot home in Whittier, and her father has been working in Iraq as a translator to help support the family.In 2008, Angela Suleman filed for bankruptcy, claiming nearly $1 million in liabilities mostly due to a bad housing investment, her bankruptcy attorney said. Suleman said Friday that she had withdrawn the filing and paid her debts.


Yes, I am from the male portion of the species. I do not perceive child birth in the same light as the female part of the species. Still to have eight children all the same physical age will be trying to all concerned, to say the least. The Medical field leads us to be concerned if or how these little ones will develop mentally and emotional?

Just my thoughts as I pass along this way;
