sitwap: The Cali Octuplets mother already had 6 young children before the 8 babies arrived. (The oldest is 7.)

Posted by Diva (aka Diva) Jan 30 '09, 06:29

According to her mother, "she had no idea her fertility treatment would result in 8 babies."

This of course begs many, many questions...

Responses:

My theory: either she thinks the United States needs more white babies (this is assuming she's white, of course), or she wants to get on TV. -- nm - mara Jan 30, 07:19 1
- her mother's last name is Suleman (Turkish). -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 07:21

- this is the kind of stuff that enfuriates Jess and I. -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 06:50 2
  - I can understand that. -- nm - kelly Jan 30, 06:55
  - I wonder if they're "quiverful" people. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 06:50
The only problem with this story is that it quotes unnamed "neighbors" and "relatives". -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 06:45 1
- In this article the woman's mother is named. -- (link) - Diva Jan 30, 06:57

well, sure, not *8*. but even if you had just one that still gives you SEVEN children. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 06:33 1
- some questionable stuff going on there. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 06:33

uh, yeah. now it's gone to plaid. what doc gave her a fertility treatment after 6? -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 06:30 17
- Dr Spaceman. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 30, 07:07 1

  - Is it the doctor's choice? -- nm - Amy Jan 30, 06:40 12
    - Absolutely. In vitro is elective. A doc has no obligation to provide it. And in this case it could be argued - TWuG Jan 30, 06:56 2
      - well, with 8 babies, this couldn't be in vitro. it would have to be meds. Of course, that is elective as well. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 07:02
      - My aunt's doctor refused to do a second round of in vitro on her because he believed that it would be unsuccessful. -- nm - kelly Jan 30, 07:00
    - Having gone the fertility route they have control. - AJRimmer Jan 30, 06:54 6
      - I'm totally anti big families (and I'm from one) but I feel hinky regulating family size. (more) - Amy Jan 30, 07:21 1
        
        I agree 100% with your IM. it's the medical intervention part I'm squeamish about. she had six - loosilu Jan 30, 07:23
      - with six previous kids, an ethical doc should have flat out refused. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 06:56 3
        
        with six previous kids, he should have tied her effin tubes! -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 07:16 2
        
        I guess my mom shouldn't have had me, then. -- nm - Amy Jan 30, 07:22
        
        quiverful. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 07:17
    - of course. Assuming he/she has all the info. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 06:42
