The evenning news report this 33-year-old single mother who lives with her parents declared bankruptcy over a year ago. The cost of hospital care of the premature octuplets who are still in the hospital will run in the millions...........her fertlity doctor ought to be shot for creating this burden on the taxpayers
NO.....don't shoot him. Make him support the 8 children he had no business bringing into this world.
This is an interesting story, and the social commentary is starting to go in weird directions.
Of course, this is a bizarre ocurrance and the woman- Nadya Suleman/Nadya Doud/Nadya Gutierrez is loopy.
But critics are using this as an excuse to slam single mothers and all Iraquis in general. Ignoring the fact that Nadya's family is reportedly Kurdish (ethnic minority in Iraq).
That's what the media does best. They pick a minute detail that suits their agenda, then run with it, with no regard for the facts or even have anything to do with the story.
I feel badly for this woman. The one I feel angry at, is the doctor. I think it was unethical of him to feed this woman's pyschosis.
