I've never heard of anyone getting paid for IVF either personally. I would think that people might if they are participating in a study of some sort. I think it is completely unethical for any doctor to implant that many babies, but I have many issues with IVF aside from that. I think this particular case is crazy. Mainly because there was so much effort put into her having multiples. I get defensive and do take it personally because of all of the insinuations that no one can care for more than "x amount" of children. I don't think that people have that right to determine how many children a person can care for. If people are not capable of caring for that many children at one time, I guess everyone is unfit as parents that sends their children to school or daycare since there are usually at least 15 and as many as 30 or so kids in one classroom being taken care of by one teacher, and sometimes a teachers aide. Sure they are just at school, but they are at school for more awake hours with their teachers than they are at home awake spending time with their own parents.
As far as people that live off of the state, I can agree to a certain extent, but I don't think you can have someone mandatorily (is that a word, lol) sterilized because you don't feel like paying for them to support their kids. I could understand having people sterilized for giving birth to baby after baby every 9 months thats addicted to crack that just ends up in the foster care system before I can see that.
This mother has gotten a ton of media attention. If she is really not caring properly for her children I am sure it will not go unnoticed. I am not defending this mothers actions, but I will not ever want to live in a country where the government can tell me how many times I am allowed to give birth and how many children I can raise. |
Those PEOPLE who send their kids off to daycare/nursery school do so because they have to work! They are not living off tax payer's money.
I am sure they would rather be home with their children than leaving them
all day long. Most are single parents who have no other choice. Someone
has to bring home the money to support them. Most are middle class
people who are the back bone of this country! Without us there would
be no welfare, no free anything.
If you can't be self supporting but rely on the government for hand outs,
unless your disabled and continue to have children then yes you should
be fixed! I work for a non profit child care agency and believe me I see
these kind of people who live off the system. The things they do to get
free money you would never even dream of thinking about in 100 years.
They know all the in and out's of the system. Every way to beat it and
do. Amazing! One family actually returned the child after 18yrs. Why because
they could no longer collect once the child turned 18. They now wanted
another baby!. This poor kid now had no parents and was returned to the
system. They said he was not controllable but had him since birth!
You have no idea what people will do to make $.
This woman has a mental condition. Lack of brains it's called.
If you can't take care of the children you have you have no right to
have more and expect other's to pay for them! PERIOD!
That clinic should be fined. Let them pay for the bringing up of those
poor 8 babies! They brought them into the world let the government
hold them responsible.
