I think there's also a problem with the doctors putting all 6 embryos back into her.. surely that was no good for the mother, and the babies.. all of there were premature and some where only like 1 pound in weight...

luckily with new age technology they all survived..

And.. where did she get her money to do IVF? From my knowledge, IVF cost A LOT....

I dont think taking the kids away are a good start.. it's not liket she's treating them badly, she just cant fund them... but she does have the time... with the help of $$ and love, the children may be better off than to be taken away to live with strangers... (not that the new borns would know, but her older kids would)

Money from getting hurt while on the job =/ She apparently used the money to get plastic surgery to make herself look more like Angelina Jolie and to get the embryos put in her.

=/ She's a worry...

If it was someone else with 8 kids.. but rely on govt payment to put food on table, I'd probably say.. I'm not worried..

but.. the way she spends her money, and goes into depression and stuff... doesnt sound too good does it...

She obviously has her priorities mixed up and it's probably not just the media blowing things out of proportion.

No one would ever be able to tell whether these children would have been better off being adopted or not. It's not just her 'spending habits' but the fact that she's having her 60 year-old grandparents help take care and fund her is just... someone is asking to be bitch slapped hard by reality.

I wonder how her parents felt when she told them she's hving another 7 kids (8th being the surprise....)

For you people who dont know jon and kate are 2 married couple with 2 sets of multiples
They have twins and sextuplets not very far apart. They have there own show and tlc and everything. I think if they can do it then why cant she?

...this lady's single. no husband. no boyfriend. no alternate form of support. she could barely support the six kids she had at first. she hasnt worked since 1999.

I rest my case.

if the eggs were fertalized, im on the side of life. you can't take a living thing's life, no matter how small it is. from the point of conception, i believe the thing is alive.

but if it was just eggs, not acctually fertalized, it would be acceptable. but from the moment of conception, all life is sacred.

They were fertilized in vitro. So yes, they were fertilized.

then it would be wrong to kill them. adoption would be ok, but i'm a total pro-lifer. abortion is nothing more than killing the baby. that's like saying "oh, it's living, with a heart beat, but it's in a womb, so go ahead, kill it 8D". i feel it's totally wrong.

those are just my values, though.

**Vasu** · 02-28-2009, 03:21 AM

Meh, I think abortion is better than giving the baby a life of poverty and suffering.

Please.

I mean, seriously?

No one is going around saying, let's kill babies "8D".
