Octuplets...

I have been following the octuplet thing since their birth and at first I was so impressed and intrigued but as time has gone on and the more information I hear about the woman (I will not call her mother because mothers put the needs of their children before their own and the title of mother is one of respect and honor and I have neither for this woman.) that birthed them, the more I am angered and disgusted! I feel like I am pretty opened minded about people and how they choose to live their lives and how they raise their children, however, This woman has pushed me to my limits and I do not feel That she is fit to raise these eight babies let alone the six she already has. In the interviews I have watched, the woman claims to have no help from the government but when reporters find that she is on food stamps and her children are on disability she says that those are programs to assist needy people not government assistance. It wouldn't even bother me if she was on government assistance, that is what it is there for, just be honest about it. Her whole demeanor just made me cringe in these interviews!

Because of this woman's selfish obsession to be a mother because she was not loved as a child, so many people will suffer! Her children of course will suffer. If this is a woman that will work double shifts to earn money for invetro while she already has SIX children, then she definitely is not using that money for their benefit or daily care. She spent over a hundred THOUSAND dollars on these procedures!!!! Money that could have went to food, housing, and other needful things to provide for her family. She has no job. She is totally dependant on her mother, her church, and volunteers. How long are those resources going to last? People can only give so much before they feel used. Plus, she was informed of the many potential health risks to those babies and she chose to go through with invetro anyway! Those babies will have lifelong struggles and delays and she was ok with that because of her fixation to have children. Not only will her children and her community suffer but millions of people who legitimately can not have children will be affected. Laws will be stricter, their chances of using more than two of their fertilized eggs will be lessened all because of this selfish woman! Oh it just burns me up!!! I think it would be in the children's best interests if they were removed from her home and placed for adoption to families that are both financially, emotionally, and mentally stable. I also think that the doctor that proformed these procedures should have his license revoked for his lack of ethics. Oh I could go on and on about this subject... It's just a sad story all the way around!
