“Live births of such a large number of babies are extremely rare - the odds of having naturally-conceived quintuplets are 65million to one - and the risks to the mother are high.”

Would I be alone in thinking those are relevant considerations?

If the you think the occurrance of an event with 65 million to 1 odds is a miracle, you’d have to think God has an unhealthy interest in games of chance.

You’d also have to think miracles can be manufactured on demand by anyone with the patience to string together 65 million independent events.

I think the odds were greatly altered by them taking fertility drugs, which are well known to increase the chances of multiple births.

Wrong.

She and her husband conceived the quintuplets after taking fertility drugs.

From the article, non-citizens of the UK have to pay for medical services, unlike here in the US.

Prayers for the little ones and the parents.

In this specific case, it seems that the medical costs have been covered already:

All the medical costs have been met by a group of Russian philanthropists. Chief executive of Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Trevor Campbell Davis said: “We are pleased to be able to give the care and support the family needed.
