IMO and again it is MO!!! I think that if you take public money in the form of welfare or some other assistance then before getting the check they implant a temporary birth control devise under your skin that prevents further pregnancy's while accepting other peoples $.. If it is removed, and you get pregnant the money stops and you loose your kid to adoption.

How can you allow a person without any means whatsoever and/or a drug dependency to continue to reproduce and demand the fiscal burden be picked up by "someone else". The 6 kids she has have big problems by anyone's standards, and then goes onto have 8 more which will also be a mess. This is disgusting IMO and a disrespects life by letting her extort society like this.

I think the parents gave up on her a long time ago, she just kept getting pregnant.

Remember, just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should do it!

If I had to put a label on this woman, I would summarize that she may have a form of "Munchausen by Proxy" where she craves, and MUST BE the center of attention.
Most of the more publicized cases involved mothers harming/killing their kids for the additional medical attention.
Who wants to bet that when the media stops calling, and the money is gone so will she, leaving her parents to care for her kids?
Any woman, ANYBODY, that willing continues to give birth without any means of support or income, should not be given "celebrity status" like this idiot was. Since she is not married, why not treat her like the social parriah that she really is?
Here's another point: If she sells her story, and gets, say $2 million, will she pay her hospital bills or try and skip out on the tab?
No need to answer, as I think we're all thinking the same.

I think the doctor and the hospital bear a larger responsibility than the taxpayer does. She has obsessive issues with children like I have with late-night snacks, both equally foolish and immature. Thier is no valid reason for her having octuplets, none. And as far as a mother smoking crack while carrying a child, as soon as the child is born the mother should be sent to prison for a long time. I don't think thier is any more selfish action a woman could do than to ingest drugs or drink alcohol while pregnant.
That hospital should bear an equal burden financially as well as the docter who implantted those eggs. Both did what they did for the publicity and it is going to backfire on them.
