Octuplets Mom Says She Had 6 Embryos Implanted by honeric01(m): 3:29pm On Feb 06, 2009 |
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090206/ap_on_re_us/octuplets WHITTIER, Calif. – The mother of octuplets says she had six embryos implanted in a fertility procedure and was well aware that multiple births could result. Nadya Suleman says it was a gamble she also took for each of her six previous deliveries. She told NBC's "Today" she had six embryos implanted for each in vitro procedure. The number far exceeds fertility industry guidelines for a woman her age. Experts say there's a small chance embryos can divide in the womb, which apparently led to the octuplets. The 33-year-old Southern California woman, who gave birth to the octuplets last week, has been criticized because she is single, unemployed and already had six children. Says Suleman: "I love my children." Imagine a woman with no real eggs to get pregnant having 14 kids now, single with no husband, Unemployed, lives with her mom, yet think it's a free world just to have kids like duck, this should be stopped or maybe put strict rules to artificial eggs implantation in women who can't produce eggs themselves (Especially the dependent ones like this) |

ANGELES – The fertility doctor who helped a California woman have 14 children, including octuplets born last month, is now facing a state investigation on top of harsh criticism from medical ethicists. The Medical Board of California did not identify the doctor who helped Nadya Suleman, 33, of Whittier, become pregnant with the six boys and two girls born on Jan. 26. Suleman has six other children. "We're looking into the matter to see if we can substantiate if there was a violation of the standard of care," board spokeswoman Candis Cohen said Friday. She did not elaborate. Suleman, a divorced single mother, told NBC's "Today" show that the same fertility specialist provided in vitro fertilization for all 14 children using sperm donated by a friend. In the interview broadcast Friday, Suleman also said six embryos were implanted for each of her pregnancies. In her latest, two of Suleman's embryos split, resulting in two sets of twins among the octuplets. When asked why so many embryos were implanted, Suleman said: "Those are my children, and that's what was available and I used them. So, I took a risk. It's a gamble. It always is." In the United States, there is no law dictating the number of embryos that can be placed in a mother's womb. Doctors say the norm is to implant two or three embryos, at most, in women Suleman's age. "The revelation about one center treating her makes the treatment even harder to understand," said Arthur Caplan, bioethics chairman at the University of Pennsylvania. "They went ahead when she had six kids, knowing that she was a single mom , and put embryos into her anyway." Suleman's infants were born prematurely and are expected to remain in the hospital for several more weeks. Her six other children are between ages 2 and 7. Suleman said she had never been on welfare and would find a way to get by with the help of family, friends and her church. She said she planned to return to school in the fall. The births have raised questions about how the woman will be able to care for all of her children. Los Angeles County child welfare spokesman Stu Riskin said the agency doesn't respond unless there has been a complaint, and such complaints are confidential. "All I wanted was children. I wanted to be a mom. That's all I ever wanted in my life," Suleman said in the portion of the interview that aired Friday. "I love my children." She said she struggled for seven years before finally giving birth to her first child. According to state documents, Suleman told a doctor she had three miscarriages. Another doctor disputed that number, saying she had two ectopic pregnancies, a dangerous condition in which a fertilized egg implants somewhere other than in the uterus. The state documents describe Suleman becoming pregnant with her first child after a 1999 injury during a riot at a state mental hospital where she worked. Suleman feared she would lose the child and sunk into an intense depression, according to a psychological evaluation in her workers' compensation case. "When you have a history of miscarriages, you think it will take a miracle," she told Dr. Dennis Nehamen. "I just wanted to die. I suspected I was pregnant but I thought, 'That's ridiculous.'" But the 2001 birth of the baby "helped my spirits," Suleman said. More than 300 pages of documents were disclosed to The Associated Press following a public records request to the state Division of Workers' Compensation. Among other things, they reveal that Suleman collected more than $165,000 in disability payments between 2002 and 2008 for the work injury, which she said left her in near-constant pain and helped end her marriage. That lady is a greedy woman who only cares about herself, She already had 6 kids before, why did she have to go ahead with another set of embryos if she didn't plan to gain from this dirty trick. |

she suffered from depression according to her, and she had a rough childhood, maybe the depression impeded her judgement about knowing that having 8kids +6 in a recession and with no job, no husband and with a parent that filed for bankruptcy, is not the best decision for someone with a college degree. |

I heard the organization responsible for regulating the board of doctors in America is looking into the issue and they are about making sure they sanction that doctor/doctors involved, this is gross irresponsibility in the part of both that woman and the doctors, they think you can just do whatever you like in this world without putting things well, You don't give birth like chickens, you have a disability (Back pain), yet you still went ahead with giving birth to 14 kids with no concrete future without putting this kids' future in consideration. I hope they sanction that woman so it can be used to teach other women lessons that you don't just give birth like you are eating food, |

IVF is very very expensive. how did she get the money to do it considering she is out of job and no insurance, or did they do it for free? |
Re: Octuplets Mom Says She Had 6 Embryos Implanted by Nobody: 6:33pm On Feb 09, 2009 |
@hauwa she must have used her disability money |

honeric01:I wonder, thanks for helping me ask. Some women are there with decent jobs and very wealthy husbands, praying for even if ts just a child, this woman is here no job, no husband and still having more kids after six. i have also noticed that most women with multiple births are the very poor ones who could hardly feed and incapable of catering for those kids. It really baffles me. |

Only in America can someone with so little(physically, financially,mentally and spiritually) be allowed to be so irresponsible as long as you are paying for it. But with a good $5 million she milks from tee-vee interveiw offers she would hopefully be able to afford up to 5 nannies to help her out. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Octuplets Mom Says She Had 6 Embryos Implanted by honeric01(m): 8:49am On Feb 10, 2009 |
kritikul: She didnt even get pregnant in the normal way, these embryos got planted in her, I think something is really fishy here, maybe they want to really make money with these babies, that was why she was given this expensive embryos minute:The cost to have an embryos implanted in a woman is very EXPENSIVE, how manage she stays with the parents with no job, else got this twice? They should really look into this thing, I think this thing was planned by her and the doctors just to make money from the fame that the babies would bring to her, She was used as an Object with her consent to milk the media and the american poeple i guess ![]() |

At least she's getting her share of the national cake just as the bank executives got theirs that led to the recession they are currently into. |
