You must be joking.

The joke is on the taxpayer who has to support these fatherless children-and it's a joke that has never been funny.In order to receive implantation you should be able to show you are in a stable relationship in order to provide a healthy enviornment for a child or children,as the case may be. You have to be able to pass certain standards in order to adopt a German Shepherd from the local Humane Society,but not to have embryos implanted.That's just WRONG.

“...stable relationship...healthy environment...certain standards...”

And the government would estasblish and administer these criteria, eh?

And just for IVF? Why? The vast majority of kids on the dole were created the traditional way. Shouldn’t these standards you suggest apply to anyone who wants to have kids?

Swain - While I agree with your stand on individual freedom, these freedoms do not come without a price. The price in this instance is responsibility, INDIVIDUAL responsibility, not Social responsibility. IMO No one is free to procreate in this out sized fashion without demonstrating the ability to care for the results of their individual decisions.

I am not advocating Chicom type regulation here. I am advocating a link between freedom and responsibility. The Octo Mom does not meet this test and this Doctor is abetting this behavior, period.
