-they sat down with the docs and agreed to the plan to implant too many, with the premeditated plan to kill some off if they had too many take root. Sounds more like cold blooded murder to me. I have no sympathy for them. What was the motive to save some money?
Their motive was to have babies. Nobody has an unlimited supply of money, and many couples undergoing IVF run out of money before having a baby. And adoption is not an option for everyone — most adoption agencies, domestic and foreign, don’t accept parents over a certain age, usually 40 or 45. This father was 47 and the mother was quite likely over 40.
I have about as much sympathy for them as they had for their own children.
I wonder what they would do if those girls died, or have birth defects?
