If we weren't talking about the birth of eight human beings here this could be considered obscene. Like Sandman says, we keep voting the people into office that make people like Octomom not only survive life but actually thrive.

I think the girl has some mental issues. Maybe she feels being a mom gives meaning to her life. You would think 6 was enough to provide meaning but maybe she needs a lot of meaning to her life to be happy so now 14.

Since the media keeps treating evenys like this as a circus show, to be wrung out for every ounce of ratings they can get, maybe we should REALLY treat this like a circus show, and keep her and her kids on display, 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR with the warning:

If you're stupid enough to have kids when you can't afford kids, thus could happen to you!

I happened to get stuck watching a little of Dr Phil last night
He did have one lucid thought (before I summarily changed the channel to ANYTHING ELSE.)

He said: "If she believed that children helped "complete" her life, and Child 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 didn't do it for her, did she seriously think that child 7,8,9,10,11,12,13 or 14 was going to do it either? "

We can't afford for her to hacve any more kids!
That's all, end of story.

As much as the media is to blame for dragging this out.....they wouldn't be dragging it out if the ratings weren't good.

This is the Reality TV Mentality of people now-a-days....its the constant "Slowing Down to see the Accident" Mentality running rampant.

She's actually getting MORE publicity then any other multiple birth mothers because this story is a friggin train wreck.....and people always slow down to check out the wreck

The reports today are saying she is infatuated with Angelina Jolie and has even had plastic surgery to look like her.
Don't know if any of that is true but FisherTim hit it on the head about a media circus.
