The world's second-ever octuplets were born

LuciaDisturbed said:
I would keep twins because they are still do-able with my fiance. But 8 babies? No. If I had 8 babies, I would give up most or all for ADOPTIONS. I would arrange adoptions so that they would have homes to go to when they are big enough and healthy enough to leave the hospital. I cannot keep 8 babies. I cannot take care of 8 babies all at the same time. Even with my fiance. I don't think I would be able to keep my sanity if I kept all 8. I am NOT giving up my sanity just because some people think it is WRONG to adopt out the babies I give birth to if I feel I cannot handle taking care of all 8 of them at the same time. I do not want to end up like that woman here in Texas who drowned all 5 of her kids. (Yes, I know she didn't have all 5 at once, but you see where I am coming from). My sanity is rather important to me, so I would rather do what I can handle. Taking on all 8 babies all at once will destroy my sanity. Is it really worth it to give up my sanity? I don't think so.

Abortions? I don't even know. That is something that I and my fiance would have to discuss if we are faced with this situation. That is a possibility. I will NOT say that I WON'T do it if I am faced with having 8 babies. If it was two babies, I wouldn't abort. But 8 babies. Maybe. But I would NOT keep all of the babies, I would find adoptive families for all or most of the babies. I don't see how that is so wrong. Secretblend is acting like it is the most worst sin ever. :roll:

I am being realistic about my ability to care for 8 babies at the same time.

I think what secretblend is getting at is that it's not right to be judgemental
 
Anyway, regarding the woman who had the 8 babies all at once...

What ethics?

Haven't you been paying attention to this thread and the other thread? Jillio and I mentioned ethics.

The ethics I mentioned:

LuciaDisturbed said:
This woman already had 6 kids of her own to start with, and then gets fertility drugs to have more babies? That is not fair to families/couples who want a child of their own but are unable to carry a baby due to medical reasons, and also to to women who have tried so many times with fertility drugs to have a baby but never have been able to conceive one at all even with the fertility drugs, even after trying for many years. This woman already had 6 kids of her own...enough already! She should have been denied the fertility drugs if she already had so many kids of her own! This is very unethical in my eyes. :mad2:

And look at Jillio's posts:

The medical ethicists are speaking out strongly against this being allowed to happen.

jillio said:
Well, actually what they are saying is, if this was in vitro fertilization, standards of practice say that no more than 4 embryos, preferably less, are to be implanted at the same time because of the huge risk to the woman and the fetuses.

Then, they say if she was taking drugs to stimulate ovulation, the standard of practice says that the number of eggs about to be released can be seen on a sonogram, and that she should have been checked and told to refrain from intercourse because of the huge risk.

Please read the first part of my post. Practice standards are to never implant more than 4 embryos because of the huge risk to woman and fetuses.

There would have been no need to abort any of the fetuses had practice standards been adhered to. That is one of the main points the ethicists are bring up. There are ways to do in vitro and also to use fertilization drugs without creating the risk that was created for both this woman and the fetuses.

The NICU expenses will be in the untold millions, no doubt. And we don't know what lasting negative effects there may be on the babies, and how much additional medical costs will be incurred as a result.

I believe there are several other posts that Jillio posted regarding ethical practices in fertility treatments in the other thread, but I am not going to do any more of your "homework" for you. Read the other thread yourself.

I don't think that's what he was talking about.
 
This is my take over the whole issue right now:
