Mom of Octuplets Already Had Six Children; New Total Equals 14 KidsBy Mike Adams, January 30, 2009 | Key concepts: Octuplets, Mother and Babies The California woman who gave birth to eight babies (by C-section, of course) already has six children at home, giving her a total of 14. A team of 46 doctors, nurses and medical personnel were required to deliver the 8 babies, and now it has been revealed by CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009...) that the woman filed for bankruptcy 18 months ago, which means the cost of raising these 14 kids is going to be carried by taxpayers.I don't have anything against a family that wants to have lots of children if they can afford to care for them and raise them in an eco-conscious way, but having six children at home already, and then going to a fertility treatment center and implanting eight more fertile eggs, then expecting the taxpayers to pay for all that just seems like insanity to me. Pay up for the baby-making factory!Is it really society's responsibility to pay for an unlimited number of babies that some mother wants to have? Shouldn't the parents be asked to exercise some common sense in their own quest for mass reproduction?Of course, these questions can lead to a very disturbing debate about the role of government in controlling reproduction (which I'm against), the issue of abortion and even eugenics. There's also the issue of the media itself, which has foolishly celebrated this birth of eight babies as if it were some sort of Olympic baby-making event. Give that mother a gold medal! Has no one considered the ecological impact of one couple having 14 babies? Is it really acceptable for one couple to bring 14 new babies into a world that's already overcrowded and on the verge of environmental disaster? These are the more serious questions that need to be asked here. And what if the couple wants another eight babies? Is 22 enough? How about 30? At what point will the media stop celebrating this baby-making phenom and start asking the tough questions like: Who will pay for all this? What would be the environmental impact if everybody acted like this? How will this family feed 14 children? Your comments and discussions are welcome, just post them below, in the comment section.
