When she gave birth, there was a ton of articles about her, her family, and the doctor. They explained the whole chronology, and characters involved. Yes, it reads like urban legend... fucking unbelievable.

I do remember there was one (tiny) mitigating detail in the doctor's favor: this woman had had 8 embryos implanted every time she'd had the in vitro procedure done, and each time, only one (or in one case, two) survived to grow into fetuses. These were the last of her embryos, she was figuring she'd get her one more baby and be done. No one was expecting that all 8 would magically grow this time around.

Doesn't change the fact that she shouldn't have had a seventh pregnancy at all, though.

Small point but, I think they were doing 6 at a time, and at the last one they had 8 left, so they did them all. But the fact remains, at that point she already had 6 kids and no job, so it was irresponsible to do it at all.

Glad to see I am not the only one who thought the doctor was irresponsible.
If this keeps up there is a risk I may develop faith in the system.

Unfortunately Zen, we are not the system. We just pay for the system.

It hit the elevator news on Friday that octomom Nadya Suleman is broke and likely headed for the welfare rolls.

She was broke before she had a litter. Why is this surprising?

I knew she (and her brood) would be living off my money.

Exactly.


I was under the impression that she had won a few Worker's Comp and Injury claims in her pre-Octo past. Instead of managing/investing the money she was awarded for her bogus claims she went on a plastic surgery spree.

Where does the mindset for a plan like that come from? I feel terribly for the children.

Yeh isn't it great - and all those who felt/feel sorry for her - still pisses me off.

And what she has created is a situation where there are now, what 9 more living off the system? Some of whom are challenged. The doc who did this artificial insemination should be stripped of ever asset he has and the money put into a fund for the kids.

Maybe she and the doc can share a cell.

They don't have to share a cell since the doc gave her more than eight of them.

Would it be appropriate for authorities to step in and take the children and place them with families who can support them?

I would think so, at some point. I think they first give the parent/s a shot or 100. Then the blood family... Then the authorities step in.
