I think what this woman has done is irresponsible. She depends on welfare to take care of her and her family, which means she depends on us (no one asked me). No one stopped this woman? Asked her how she planned to financially take care of all her kids? I mean she already had 6 kids, it’s comforting to know that we just let anyone have kids, crackheads, thirteen year olds, the mentally retarded, and women who can’t afford them and keep giving birth to more. One thing I do wonder is how she got the money to pay a doctor for her in vitro fertilization, who paid her hospital bill for having 8 kids, well we know it wasn’t her since she’s unemployed. Take a look around next time you shop at Walmart….. That’s our future.
Here is an excerpt from the New York Post (I & MONGELLI, 2009) that best describes how I feel.

Scrutiny of Octomom - who had six kids before giving birth to this brood - has intensified, with a Southern California psychiatrist filing a complaint with child-protective services against the medical wonder.
"The best thing would be for [the eight babies] to be adopted straight from the hospital, rather than being allowed to go home and be in real danger," Dr. Carole Lieberman told The Post yesterday.
In her four-page, 25-point complaint to the LA Department of Children and Family Services, Lieberman charged: "Animals have litters, they don't exert conscious control over the number of babies that they have. It is not psychologically, nor physically, possible to provide sufficient love and attention to the 'litter' that Ms. Suleman has chosen to deliver."

This is a very difficult moral dilemma for anyone to tackle. My first thought when I heard this story was what kind of doctor participated in this endeavor? Did this person just want their 15 minutes of fame? How can this be medically responsible. If even one of these 8 children grow up without livelong health issues, I will be very surprised. Lots of people raise large families, but not eight children of the same age at once who will have extraordinary needs.
