That is just another twist to this sick story - the guy who is supposed to be the father of all her kids could not have impregnated her because she had embryos implanted by the Beverly Hills fertility doctor for each pregnancy.  So that means if the same guy is the father he had to keep donating sperm as the baby count mounted.

Castration would be too kind . . .

First off let me tell you that I do think this woman is slightly wacko and that she is most definitely irresponsible.  I say this NOT because she wanted to have a large family, I know lots of people with large families and I do not say this about them.  ( I would have loved a large family myself :-(      But it's in the cavalier way that she has gone about making a large family.  If what is reported is true, then she purposefully has avoided marriage and commitment, which is not the ideal way of planning for a child, much less a batallion of them.   I  would think that a responsible person would back off from having a family that they could not support or share in raising with another person.

  What worries me a great deal about this story is that because it has elements than can rightfully outrage many, it provides other elements and open doors for Big Gov to tell us just who and how many children we can have.  Today,  it is justified to be concerned about a single family receiving tons of finacial aid from taxpayer's money,  but tomorrow some perfect injustices can spring up based on the decisions and attitudes taken now in this matter.

  So I would join you in cautioning all who go beyond the first initial outrage at this woman's lack of sense and discretion, to think long and hard at what the outcome of our inpulsive behavior may bring.  Yes, population control and who knows what else.

  In many of the commments I have read regarding this woman all across the internet, I sense more of a disgust that anyone would "choose" to have a large family, as opposed to simply be apalled that taxpayer funds are being used to raise these children.   Are some of these critics the same that don't mind if thousands of illegals use the emergency rooms to treat their colds at taxpayer's expense?

Be very careful of the freedoms you want to strip from someone else, the next individual to have his/her freedoms cut off could be you.

I don't think its a matter of being sexist. It is more a matter of maturity, and of being responsible.

You say that this woman loves babies. I really don't think you can say that for any certainty from where you sit. If she really cared she would be considering what kind of world is she bringing these children into? Its already a very toxic place. There are food shortages on the way. There are clean water problems on the way. The Earth is burdened too much already with too many people.

This woman is an example of why the NWO agenda is needed to be put in place.

To impose population control measures.
Unfortunately this is what is needed if human beings cannot use their own intelligence in such matters, then the unconscious masses are helping to bring the NWO agenda about.

I don't think the government really cares to limit the number of children a person/couple can have children. It is a nanny government that is encouraging population excess for several reasons.
The more people there are the more they will have people to use for military service... so the u.s. can remain a military power, to have world police force.
The more people there will be to have a work force. The more people there are, the more there will be to tax and enslave. If anything they will increase taxes on people who are single, responsible, intelligent adults.
The family unit is what holds this country together because it keeps the ball and chain tied around the ankles of the average American. It keeps them preoccupied so they can keep being exploited.
It really doesn't matter to the government that a greater number of people will be out of work, they will get the welfare programs funded regardless, from those that are working.

Then you got a Christian Pope and other so-called religious leaders vehemently opposed to any form of birth control. Why? Because these so-called religions are also big businesses. The more numbers they have, the more money they will generate from the flock.

And then you got the ignorant masses that have been conditioned, generation after generation, that they are unable take care of themselves, which this woman is part of. She will be passing on this conditioning to her children -She cannot take care of herself, of her own situation, and this is how her children will learn this -by example. She will be teaching them victimization.

This is leading to the time when this government will finally implode on itself. When the Constitution will be obsolete.

This simply means that at the appropriate time the STATE will issue certificates allowing only certain people to have children. People will need to have prerequisite requirements in order to be eligible to have children, education degrees, medical history, criminal history checks, etc. Those that have children that do not have a certificate, then the child goes to the State. Becomes a child of the STATE and is raised and conditioned to be useful solely to the STATE.

Not that I would be in favor of such measures, in fact, I am in favor of absolutely no need for any government intervene in anyone's personal life at all. But this is what the unconscious masses are creating to have happen.

I do agree that this situation might be being used, or even a manipulated ploy at a stretch, to get the sheeple conditioned for China-esque population control, but also for conditioning the people to rely on the state to raise their kids and to be dependent on the state for everything else too.  Socialism/communism anyone?

Where do you draw the line with lab created state sponsored bankrupt planned pregnancies?  If next year she had another 8 kids, is that crossing the line?  Would the fertility doctor then be held responsible, or is it "anything goes"?  Where do you draw the line financially?  Mentally?  Physically?  No father in the picture?  Sinlge?  Questionable track record?

She can't afford the kids and she can't support or raise them.  Which means I have to pay for them and raise them.  Tell me who is going to raise those kids.  I am.  Her old mother is.  You are.  Don Quixote is.  Alikat is.  And most of all the government is going to raise those kids.  How has the state been doing at raising, indoctrinating, vaccinating, etc... children?  We are taught to let the state raise our kids, that a mother and father are not necessary of even healthy.  And biologically, she can't breast feed all of those kids.  Biologically, she isn't going to have a husband around to do what males are supposed to do to raise their offspring.  Biologically, she doesn't have the time to raise these kids properly, much less get a job to feed them nutritious food.  Is government cheese healthy?  She said that she was going to get her degree so she could get a good job!  When will she have the time for school or a job?!?!  She is not only extremely impractical, her sanity is in question.

Single with 14 kids - who in their right mind thinks that is a good idea?  Who is going to "train" those kids?  Especially with the financial and possible mental instability of the mother.  The grandmother even complained that she was going to have to help raise those 6+8 kids now.  When does quantity cause quality to suffer?  Better to have 1 bright kid or 14 idiots?  I am sure the state would ratgher have 14 sheeple who were just bright enough to do what they are told than to have 1 bright kid who is always questioning everything and figuring things out. 

This is yet another example of how irresponsibleness and unaccountability is rewarded, while responsible people get the shaft and bear the expense.  I know a lot of people who do not have kids because they could not afford them.        

These 14 kids were no accident.  The first 6 were calculated and planned and the next 8 were calculated and planned even though she knew she could not afford the kids and she was staying single.  Would the doctor have planted 8 eggs if he knew she was going to keep all of them that took?  Call it a fiduciary duty, a duty of expertise and extra accountability because of the position of professionalism and power.  Either way I consider that malpractice - he planted too many eggs and he made possible the opportunity for an already unstable situation to snap out of control.  Just like the banks who offerred loans to people knowing that the people would not be able to pay them back, it's like offering an $8 million mortgage to an unemployed person who has already maxed out credit cards and not much potential for future income for the next 15 years.  The bank ends up owning the home, just as the government ends up owning the children.  The state is already telling parents that they can't home school their own kids.  How can the state do that?  Because we gave them too much power by being reliant on the state to take care of us.  

The government should not tell a woman how many kids she should have.  The government should ALSO not enable the situation to take place, to support 14 kids from a woman who planned to have many kids whom she knew she could not support and took extra measures to make sure she would stay single and pregnant.  "The Government" is everybody's sugar daddy now.  And watch out, because that sugar daddy is gonna want something in exchange and now everybody has to bend over and take it in the end.  The state already has too much power and influence in our lives.  How many taxpayers will it take to raise those kids?  How many other services will be lost because of the millions in taxpayer dollars will go to raising these kids for this mother?  Those kids will cost at least 2.6 to 4 million (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090212/ap_on_re_us/octuplets).  And those are just the estimated up front costs.  Imagine all of the hidden costs to countless people who were forced to take care of these kids.  How many basic NEEDS services like food and shelter will be going to these kids who were WANTED.  The mother did not NEED another 8 kids, she WANTED them.  A lot of people NEED food and assistance to survive.  Watch the news for the coming suffering. 

Relying on the state/government is giving power to the state/government.  That goes for everyone.  I have every right to protest the undue reliance on government by other Americans.  Not just because my money is used.  You give the state/government power, that power is used against me as well.  Anyone who is using my tax money and government services to raise their children is fair game to be criticized.     

"Loving and adorable" is great but it doesn't raise kids.  My puppy is lovable and adorable but I can't afford 14 puppies, nor take care of them and train them.  Who is going to train those 14 kids?
