So...who's going to pay for 14 children? Certainly not the unemployed, single mom who just recently gave birth to an additional eight on top of the six that waited at home. Home being with the unemployed, single mom's parents which I'm thinking is the only blessing at this point for this most unusual family.
The question that most people have posed has been, how was this allowed to happen? Ethically, was it the right thing to do? In certain European countries, particularly Italy and Germany, the limit on the number of embryos allowed to be implanted at once is three...she may have been implanted with eight. Dr. R. Dale McClure, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, said in a statement Friday that the organization has been working to reduce the number of high-order multiple births resulting from in vitro fertilization treatments. But, in this situation it's a little too late.
The nanny that cares for this woman's children states that she's the 'perfect mom', which is a very noble statement. But, regardless of how Supermom-ish you may be, 14 is almost unmanageable for a daycare center let alone a woman and her parents. She'll most likely sell her life to a reality television show. Why not? The shows pay well and it's going to be a monstrous monetary challenge for the mother. So there's the answer to the question. Watch for a new show coming soon...'14 Is Enough'? All I can say is, look out 'John and Kate plus 8'...you've got some real competition coming your way.
Thanks for reading.
