The live-in help does chores, not raise children. Anyway, Al, the point was she was the opposite of the birth machine in the news in resources and probable outcome. It’s not a competition but if it were, birth machine would fall flat on her face.
It is obvious, by her own words, this woman has mental problems. If her eccentricity was keeping dozens of cats, filling her home to the ceiling with clutter or showering every hour, there would be no doubt that everyone would recognize the need to change her behavior and no Dr would encourage her to continue. In those cases she would really only be a danger to herself. But when it comes to having children, mental illness and sheer stupidity are secondary to ‘the miracle of birth’.
In the 1st instance you mention, it seems like the community is enabling their behavior and they haven’t ‘closed up shop’ so they could end up with more than a dozen. Also, I’ll bet the toxic wood fuel was owned by someone else. Those children will end up raising themselves at our expense. Love does NOT conquer all.
As far as fertility treatments, reputable Drs no longer implant large numbers of eggs because of the danger to both mother and children. While all the babies have been reported to be healthy that doesn’t mean they will not have deficits. Cerebral palsy is the condition that occurs most often in multiples due to overcrowding and lack of oxygen. It can cause death, mental retardation, blindness or anything connected with brain damage. Knowing that she was setting her own children up for disabilities just because she could is unconscionable.
Michael Jackson only dangled one baby out the window, what the birth machine and her Dr did was the equivalent to dangling 8 babies all at once.
