The Octuplet Mama

[Lace Neil Singer]

California taxpayers might have to pay for the woman's children and costs associated with them.

This is incredibly disgusting considering the fact the state is already in debt and are asking bailout for help. Now this?

What should be done now?

Deportation? Not here, we're suffering already with the recession. Someplace else where she might actually have to get off her fat arse and work for a living. I really doubt she has a bad back; people with bad backs don't deliberately get pregnant with eight babies. -.-

Oh, and she's begging for donations cuz she's not going to be getting any freebies from companies.

Re: The number of embryos implanted during in vitro...

Because of the high costs (medical & physical) of the procedure, most reputable doctors will implant several at one time, depending on the age of the mother, to make sure that at least one will "take." The number varies, but is usually around 3-5 - which is why you hear so many stories about physician-assisted twins or triplets. For a woman her age to have delivered EIGHT babies implies strongly that one of the following things is true:

(1) The fertility doctor implanted a LOT of embryos - if they implant 3-5 in the hopes of getting 1, we can extrapolate that out to a ballpark of (are you sitting down?) 20-25 that probably went into this woman to produce those 8 babies.

or

(2) This woman's uterus should be used to grow crops for the starving, because it's clearly the most fertile land on the planet.

And as for the PR person, I can almost guarantee you that it's a fellow bottom-feeder working for her gratis to get her own mug famous for 15 minutes.

I'm not a doctor, but what this sounds like to me is a bizarre manifestation of hording behavior - you know, where people become fixated with collecting things they either don't need, can't use, or (when it's a living thing) can't care for. I think that this woman is hording children instead of cats or yesterday's garbage. She obviously needs help, but what needs to happen even more is those kids need to be placed with families that are able to care for them properly. Just because we have the right to have as many kids as we like doesn't mean we can responsibly do so, mental issues or not. When, like Rum said, you start to cut the Duggar family some slack, you know you're up against something quite major.

Nadya Suleman trying to be like Angelina Jolie?

People who know Nadya Suleman have said she's gotten work done on her face to look more like Angelina Jolie.

As the article suggests: Maybe Brangelina could adopt at least some of the Suleman octuplets.

As much as they sicken me for their fame-whoring ways, I'd actually love to see this - if only to help these poor kids.

The Octuplet Doctor is at it again!

Now he really needs his license revoked. WTF is this guy thinking?

The newest patient is 5 months pregnant, on complete bed rest in the hospital, also has no insurance and is 49 years old. She already has 3 grown children from her first marriage, but her second husband is in his 30's doesn't have children & she wanted to have children with him.

Get this man out of medicine. STAT!

[Greenday]

Hm, I could actually see criminal charges developing. Completely a case of negligence by the doctor, putting people in harms way...

[DesignFox]

I think the state of California should sue this *censored*. Fuck this guy. Just *rant rant* And the AUDACITY of these people to even SEEK these procedures when they are UNINSURED and UNEMPLOYED...... GAH. *head explodes*

This situation just infuriates me.

[crashhelmet]

I don't know if it's been mentioned in any of the articles or not. I gave up on reading articles about this whack job a while ago.

I'm wondering if this isn't a part of some sort of welfare/SSI scam. The more babies she pops out, the more she can collect from the state. Her parents would be the ones that are supposed to get it since they care for the kids, but how much does she get? How much of a cut does the doctor get?

If these were all natural conceptions and she was pro-Life for whatever reasons, i'd give her that. But for them all to be IVF? Don't tie her tubes. Rip them out and strangle her with them.

Nadya Suleman is now receiving death threats via her website.

Can't say I'm not surprised by this. She's heard what people are saying. Did she really thing people would welcome the chance to help support her baby addiction?

[Boozy]

Death threats?

I may not approve of her life choices, but wishing death on someone is quite another matter.

I understand the outrage, but some people need to get a grip. They should also be arrested.

[IDrinkaRum]

I'm not saying those who are threatening her with death are right. I just said I'm not surprised that there are people out there who would threaten something like that. They're as nutty as the octuplet woman is.

[tropicsgoddess]

I'm not sure to think if Nadya Suleman is a nutjob or another leech to the system. But in all seriousness, the doctor should've only done one or no more IVF treatments. I can understand if she took drugs that did that to her, but it's different when a doctor and his patient CHOOSE to have multiple embryos conceived at once, especially after she's already had SIX children from that same IVF procedure. She needs to get off her ass and work and at least have those kids out for adoption. Can we say Brangelina?

The Grandmother's house may be going into foreclosure soon

Do you feel sorry for the Grandma? Now what is going to happen to all those people?

I feel sorry for the Grandmother. She's 62. She has to help with the 6 children at least as Nadya Suleman is off traipsing to the hosptial to sit with her 8 other babies.

[blas87]

I hope all of those babies are taken away and given to good parents who will actually care for them and are financially stable enough to care for children.

[AFPheonix]

I'll frankly be surprised if all of them survive. Some of them still looked downright fetal.
