Embryo Legislation?

Recent story as you probably already know. http://news.aol.com/article/octuplet...dmother/328911


1. Should your government legislate how many embryos a physician can implant in a woman during one session?

2.What are the ethicals boundries of a physician?

3. What should parental requirements be? Successful job, dual parents.....

4. Is this healthy for a woman and neonates?


My answers

1. and 4. Yes for health reasons of both the mother and the neonates

2. The boundries of a physician should be guided by health based decistion. Implanted 8 embryos is NOT safe. This physician should be sanctioned at a minimum.

3. Absolutely. No one on public assistance should be allowed IVF. No one with a past serious criminal record (serious felonies of course) No one who is NOT a citizen of the respective country.

Can't say i've got an opinion on this... but i'd say women should try a bit harder the natural way before using any other alternatives.
Try to be a bit kinky rather than waiting to ovulate.

That women should not have been given any more children...none.

God, these threads have been ridiculous lately.

Do you guys want the government to hire people to wipe after you go to the bathroom as well?

The spokeswoman didn't give too much away. 8 embryos implanted? Isn't this a little too much for a woman. I can't think of any woman in the uk receiving this amount. The risks are enormous (or could have been) giving birth to 8 children. I don't think there was financial gain in the beginning but from what the spokeswoman is saying (more importantly) not saying. Financial gain is the primary agenda.

Who will finance the children in the future? Will this be a case of taxpayers funding this family. If I'm not mistaken she's a single mother... personally, I think this should have been taken into account before she had the implants. She may very well think she can perform a great job as a mother but kids need a father figure (something a woman simply cannot do). On that part, she was selfish in that area and didn't really think of the long term impact.

IMO there were neglects and issues overlooked on both sides of the coin. I guess we will hear the full story when she gets the lump sum of money and lifetime supply of diapers.

Whole is sicker, the woman that wanted to carry a litter of kids like a dog does. Or the doctor that let her do it?

The only thing the government should do is punish the doctor.
