Fertility / Octuplets

[Mal L]

Does anyone have any thoughts on the ethics of this multiple birth? And what about the ethics of the doctors that performed the fertility treatment, when they knew the woman already had six children? One doctor has said, "Who am I to judge?"

It was very unethical on someones part but I wouldn't be to hard on the Drs yet. I have had several friends on fertility drugs and the Dr will always suggest that they only implant 3 eggs at a time. If the patient refuses to listen to the Dr. There's nothing he can do. The fact that this mom already had 6 children and is on welfare makes her irresponsible to say the least
