Taxpayers may have to cover octuplet mom's costs

Also for those who don't know, her other five children are all under the age of seven, three with handicaps (probably not a politically correct word any more), and were also conceived  through in-vitro. From what I gather, there has never been a man in these children's lives at all.

It also may be a great ploy to get a big new house, as seen weekly on that Ty Pennington show (I think it's called Extreme makeover hose or something).

As for her getting death threats, that is just plain irresponsible and evil. The woman needs help, and the children certainly don't need to be punished for the sins of those who allowed this to happen.

She worked for the state hospital and received the classic "back injury" and won an large settlement from that, apparently someone broke an chair over her while she was in front of another patient during an riot, but I say the research team that did the implant should be the ones to pay for the birthing...as far as the rest goes, this is the "name of the game", let someone else pay your way in life..these days. I doubt she has the intelligience to do anything worthwhile on her own...I guess I shouldn't say that, she's smart enough to make an living off others...something most of us can't manage to do...and I do beleive ohers take us for an ride and think we are "stupid" when they can get away with it.   

I've just read that some experts are arguing that these huge multiple births occur precisely because U.S. health care programs and insurance do not cover such treatments, allowing them to be defined by the free-market of patient choice.

Excuse me, but I don't think having children is a right, I think it's a sacred trust that comes with heavy responsibility. That responsibility starts with determining whether you are to ready psychologically, emotionally, and financially to have children in the first place. 

We have fostered a system that teaches people to do as they will with little or no regard for the consequences. It's all about "rights"...my right to this and my right to that. What ever happened to personal responsibility?

One Los Angeles Times columnist reporting on the situation called Suleman's story "grotesque." I couldn't have said it better.
