She is a wack job, but if someone came to me with $2M in cash and wanted to interview me I would tell them anything they wanted to know, in triplicate, AND hooked to a polygraph machine.

She isn’t the one being crazy here, the three twits are.

Not really. The three "twits" aren't any crazier than Ms. Suleman. They (more accurately, their producers) know they can make a boatload of money by paying this woman $2MM for her first interview, because many tens of millions of Amreicans will soak it up, buy the products that are advertised during the breaks, etc. Let's face it, there are tens of millions of twits at the root of this.

Personally, I more intrigued by what medical science may learn from this woman. Something went VERY right with her body once this pregnancy was established. These are not only just the second set of octuplets to be born alive, but the smallest of her set weighed 230% more than the smallest of the Chukwu octuplets (which didn't survive), and all eight are breathing without ventilator assistance (only two needed ventilator assistance even briefly after their births) and digesting breast milk. The largest of the Chukwus was 1 lb 10 oz (just 2 ounces more than Suleman's smallest) vs. Suleman largest who weighed in at a whopping 3 lb 4 oz.

Presumably, several specialists were monitoring her very closely, and recording a huge number of physiological variables as the pregnancy progressed. I think it's very likely that many future preemies (multiples and singles) will end up surviving and thriving because of what medical science learns from this woman's case.
