Suddenly, 14 Children

Glad the babies are healthy but come on. Six already and the oldest is seven. Sounds like a one woman baby factory to me. Wonder what might be in it for her.

Humans aren't supposed to have litters.

This household will now have 14 children ALL UNDER THE AGE OF SEVEN!

Also this mother is a single mother who lives with her parents. The grandfather will be going BACK TO IRAQ to work as a contractor in order to support all these kids. The house they live in in only two bedrooms.

The doctor who implanted these embryos needs to loose his license to practice for ethics violations.

Why the heck did she go to a fertility clinic even though she already had 6 kids. Is this an obsession? A fetish? There are crazy cat ladies, is this a crazy baby lady?

Disgusting! What a shortsighted selfish slob.

don't worry, she'll get her own lifetime show and corporate sponsorship and never have to lift a finger again. my damned gf makes me watch all those shows (jon and kate + 8, the duggars (the vagina clown car family), there's even a new show with a compilation of families with multiples that don't quite warrent their own shows. it disgusts me that these parents pimp their kids on tv, and that having so many kids glorified. here comes the next batch.

Actually George You are DEAD WRONG. Reports are the mother has expressed interest in PRIVATE MONEY from a TV show.

Thank you for making this about your pocketbook and not about taking care of children.

They will all be in a gang in ten to twelve years. That, or establishing their own suicide bombing club.

Seriously, what the fuck? 6 kids already and on fertility meds? Obviously she has no problem getting knocked up. What a dumb ass.

This woman is nuts. How many kids do you need? Jeez.

Imagine the possibilities of having more than a dozen children. They could all grow up to be pro athletes and play for the same team. You wouldn't have to worry about which team to cheer for!

each of those children is going to have at least, and i say least, one child probably.
how is this legal?
i always say, if you cant afford yourself, or what you already have, why in the hell are you thinking of bringing more into this world?

and yes lemon, i dont plan to ever have children. and i know if i do, i will adopt, its just selfish otherwise in my eyes.

In the UK no fertility clinic would have treated her for fear of serious trouble.

Can't pay for them?
Bring back state run orphanages

This woman obviously has a major screw loose and the fertility clinic responsible for the implantations should be brought up for review.

I was thinking the same thing as Gauldar--some kind of compulsion, like collecting buttons, except, you know, with infants.

Reminds me of the scene in Raising Arizona when Glenn explains that he and Dot are trying for another baby in their already huge family because "These are getting too big to cuddle."

This is one of those situations where you can talk till your blue in the face about how wrong it is, but what are you going to do about it? Take them away? Make people get permission from the government before they can have kids? Submit a financial statement at your first obgyn visit and if you don't meet the standard they abort? Anyone with half a brain knows this isn't "right", but when you have all the freedoms we do you have to expect that the idiots out there are going to do stuff like this. Ihe alternative, I think, would not be an option most of you would like.

You know this really probably is some mentally-deficient girl who got all sappy over those TLC shows and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a huge increase in BIG families in the next ten years overall. Idiocracy is here.

I hearby name this mental disorder: Brangelina Syndrome!

Don't ya get it Dave? This is not for the mother...she probably can't read, certainly she doesn't have time if she is taking part in any of her maternal obligations. This is a way to sound out to any other idiot who thinks that what she has done is a good idea. This is a forum to ridicule what is irresponsible behavior. Way back early in this run someone mentioned the population explosion. That's not just a gimmick. If you have read anything about Peak Oil, and you have any ability to extrapolate, we are in deep s*it. If you've read anything written by David Goodstein (Out of Gas) or Richard Heingberg (Power Down) you know that if we don't change our ways, and start taking responsibility for our actions, begin to demand individual accountability...suffice it to say, it's gonna get ugly. There are elderly and sick people who cannot care for themselves because of bad breaks. We have a responsibility to pitch and help them, so we cannot afford any more of these self inflicted welfare recipients.....I mean, if you're asking for my point of view.

@ Skipweasel, Flagpole: Like I said, I'm not defending her, just defending the right of individuals to make decisions without getting approval from some government bureaucrat. Sure there are some decisions that some people make that you don't like, but in this case it's not as if there's some fad going around where droves of people are having 14 kids. Getting your thong bundled over this one isolated case is about as idiotic as having 14 kids under 5 years of age.

Please don't try to use this one woman's behavioral abnormality to justify Chi-Com-style population control.

Who cares if she wants to have 59 children! It's her life, and if she wants to have them, let her! Pittsburgh Steelers player James Harrison is one of 14 children and no one is complaining about his mother having too many children! Get a life - this is NOT China!

I own several rental houses. Whenever I have a change of occupancy I need to have the property inspected to ensure that it is safe and up to code. This, so that I can obtain an occupancy permit and offer it for rent. When the permit is granted it always has a note that the property is limited to a maximum of x amount of people. For my 3 bedroom house the max is six. What if her municipality has similar limits?

While I don't necessarily approve of people having large families, I don't criticize them either. However, why would someone go to a fertility clinic to have ANY children when she couldn't even support herself?! I understand mistakes happening through normal intercourse, but this is deliberate abuse of a system.

I'm part of the "working poor" with no insurance for my 2 children born in wedlock when financial times were good and we owned our own home. I can barely now pay rent, put food on the table, and would never even consider bringing another life into this household that I can't currently support.
