'Octomom' Gets Death Threats

[Zachstar]

Ok not everyone (and hardly anyone) is impressed with this mother of many. But this is going too far.

These idiots are only helping to increase support for those who are exploiting the system. Discuss the issue. Leave the children out of it and for petes sake don't talk about violence!

It's not funny its not cute. Its unlawful and unethical!

[A Very Super Market]

This just shouldn't have happened in the first place. Death threats go too far, but the point is, this is total BS

[UnderseaLcpl]

Ah, I see that the base nature of humanity to compete for resources mainfests itself once again. The gene war never ends.

[Platapus]

I always wonder how many of these "death threat" are manufactured for publicity?

I am glad that the police are taking them seriously but I wonder how much cop-time is wasted on "PR" death threats?

Precisely!

[Frame57]

"Octomom", I do not get it? Is she like half octopuss or something....:hmmm:

[A Very Super Market]

I like taking things literally.

She's the one with the 8 kids. Octuplets.

Not the one with 8 arms

[Jimbuna]

I hear she has 14 in total :o

[Torplexed]

This whole story reminds me of comedian Dennis Miller's line about a similar multiple birth incident involving a fertility clinic;

"It's a vagina, it's not a clown car." :88)

[Onkel Neal]

:haha:

[GoldenRivet]

octo mom this

mother of octuplets that

who gives a ****?

EDIT: given that her case is an "extreme one" but... she is only one of several million similar cases in the united states.

[SUBMAN1]

"Octomom", I do not get it? Is she like half octopuss or something....:hmmm:
What no one has told you yet is that she knowingly, with 6 other children already, went to a fertility clinic and had a doctor basically knock her up medically.

Why would an unemployed mother do this? Simple - welfare check. Every kid she has is more money for her. This is an old trick and is usually done by by illegal Mexicans. The plea to the community in her case is just more money for herself using the poor little me BS.

[Enigma]

"It's a vagina, it's not a clown car."
:har:

[Zachstar]

The reason for the outrage over octomom is the lies told that she was supposedly able to raise the children herself with no .gov assistance.

While the media pawned over this "wonder mom" those who had any kind of sence checked and found what complete and utter BS this is.

Just put it this way. The hospital care for the birth and stay alone for just these 8 will be over a million dollars. Meanwhile is Octomom studying hard to prepare to get a job to support these 14? Nope she was spotted getting an Xbox360.

[Frame57]

Holy Crap! Having raised two kids and that was enough I cannot imagine all those diaper changes and feedings at 2 in the morning. I would commit suicide...:arrgh!:

If she is normal, she may not deserve death threads, but she surely deserve a spanking. but I also can not rule out that she is psychologically serverly handicapped (="gaga"). In both cases it should be checked if it is a good idea and reasonable to leave the kids with her.

I think, sie hat wirklich ein Rad ab.

[Spike88]

She does have a total of 14. I can see where this can anger people, because she's taking other peoples money just because she decided she wanted 14 kids.

[Zachstar]

The good news is this is looking more and more like CPS is going to step in.

The talk is the house they are living in now is nowhere near equipped to handle 14. And while this supposed offer from some dumbass farmer in my view to take her in might happen. Something tells me this is not going to end the way she expected.

[Platapus]

Hey all the right-to-lifers should be happy with this women. She had six fertilized embryos. Her religious/moral beliefs would not allow her to let them die as they were, in her mind, already six human beings.

That's why she had all six implanted.

At least that is what she said during the TV interview last week.

Clearly she should not have had all six eggs fertilized in the first place.

But once they are fertilized, what would a right-to-lifer want her to do?

Should she have been "forced" to give some/all of her fertilized embryos to some one else?

Should she have aborted the procedure and allowed six human beings to be, as some say, "murdered"?

Would not a right-to-lifer insist that she carry the six embryos?

An interesting moral delemna. And one that may challenge some of the beliefs of right-to-lifers.

Three of her kids are mentally handicapped.

[Skybird]

A dog that constantly chases it's tail, sooner or later falls to the ground, dizzy. Intellectual argument is very much the same when being taken too far. A single cell is never a human being- just the idea that there could be a human being. Potential, not realisation. Would anybody argue that the idea of having a baby ten years in the future is the same like actually having that baby? Hardly. And if so, it would be insane.

Without doubt there is a point when a cellular mass no longer is a cellular mass, but features characteristics you cannot deny to be that of a human. But not a single cell, or even a dozen cells, or several hundreds. That is totally absurd. It is not even a tadpole. It's hysteric emotions, and that's all it is.

[A Very Super Market]

Yeah, that really ticks me off. This woman has no sense of responsibility, yet she is allowed to raise 14 kids, three of which need constant care?

My parents knew an old colleague of my father, which he knows since the 70s. He later married, and it was a women totally nuts about the idea of having a baby, a motheranimal fulfilling every cliche you could have about that. I mean she really was hysteric about the idea. But she did not become pregnant, and they started to try and went to doctors and laboratories and did the whole program inside out and back and forth and then return to beginning and starting again, ten years or so. Finally, she became pregnant when she was 44, but after just some years the daughter turned out to be emotionally handicapped, and dysfunctional in her social behavior, now going to a special school, but being handicapped for the rest of her life. Doctors say it could be that the mother was too old, or a medical consequence. The mother and the father have a marriage in ruins, no money left, both trying to avoid final contemplation on their status by having developed several absurd hobbies and most hilarious behavior patterns, really. He once earned good money - he know is on social wellfare.

If it shouldn't be, then sometimes you're better off if you simply accept that, and let it be to keep on trying. the sins of the parents in this example will be payed for by other people financing them, and the daughter pays with her life as well, will ever stay dependant, will always need help, and will never be normal but will be seen as a "freak".

Thanks, but no thanks. Fanatism always is a bad thing.

Your story reminds me of a show I watched. It was about women who wanted babies but could not have them due to whatever reasons that went too drastic measures to get a baby. From stealing infants from hospitals, to beating up a woman in a walmart parking lot to take her baby, to the worst, killing a lady and two of her children and then stealing her unborn baby from the body. Luckily 1 of the children and the unborn baby ended up living.

[Zachstar]

I guess the word "Adoption" never pops into these people's minds eh?

Despite the rumors there is nowhere near enough parents to care for how many children are left for adoption.

But to a nutjob I guess they don't want a child from one of the have nots.

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Could he not have refused to do that? :06:

[Platapus]

The doctor is the one I want to hear from. I would like to know what the ethics of the profession say about this? I think the doctor acted irresponsibly and I wonder if he violated any laws/ethics that could threaten his career?

Most of these women want the babies to strengthen their relationship and go to extreme measures to make it seem like they're pregnant, from wearing fat suits to actually getting fat.

I wouldn't expect the good Doctor to volunteer an explanation.

[StarFox]

I agree, but I do think that women has issues. She is gonna cost us a lot of money. No job, no income, no future job opportunity's.

She needs to be fixed, and sadly I think her kids would be better off in foster care. I don't think anyone should give her money, I don't think she deserves her newfound fame, I think she needs to back to the Mental health clinic.

14 kids, single mother, no job, no future? She needs help, not donations. $1 million in Medical bills, who is gonna pay for it. Not the taxpayer I hope

[Platapus]

I wouldn't expect the good Doctor to volunteer an explanation.

According to that TV interview, the doctor is under investigation so I imagine he has been advised to keep his trap shut.

[U-84]

just another way to get people's tax money, which everyone here seems to agree...don't really know what else to say on this subject, sure it is unethical, but what can you do about it, i mean, she's got a whole website set up for donations, and u know quite a bit of the U.S. population is going to donate, sure she may come up with the money but i don't think shes stable enough to raise 14 kids. She's gonna have to live with that consequence

[Jimbuna]

$1 million in Medical bills, who is gonna pay for it. Not the taxpayer I hope

I'm afraid so.....unless your willing to make a donation :DL

[Happy Times]

This whole thing remínds me of the circus freaks, money seem to play a role in the whole thing.
And she clearly isnt mentally stable, i dont understand how she was allowed to make more children!
I was shocked to learn there are 60.000 children that have been taken in custody in Finland. That is the same size as one years age group.
It strange you cant drive a car under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
You are also punished for causing a death or disability with the car.
But the same doesnt apply to making children.

[Zachstar]

The medical bills will be mostly paid for by the taxpayer BTW.

[Platapus]

Strange that in my state I need a license to own a dog but anyone with an egg and a sperm can have children. :nope:

The California mother of 14, including octuplets born two weeks ago, said in an exclusive interview that the intense scrutiny she has been under is “really kind of sick.”
The Jan. 26 birth of the eight infants catapulted Nadya Suleman from obscurity into the national spotlight. In a new interview with TODAY’s Ann Curry that aired Wednesday, Suleman said she was unprepared for the attention.
“All of a sudden, someone just opens you in half, you know, cuts you and opens you and just wants to dissect you and just wants to put you under a microscope. And it's really kind of sick,” Suleman told Curry. “I think people really need to just focus on their own lives and their own growth and their own self-awareness and stop trying to fixate on other people.”












That would be fine and all, if the tax payers didn't have to pay for your stupidness. :nope:

I heard that VIVID entertainment is offering her one million bucks to do a porn flick. What? Will they dress her up in an Octopuss outfit and have someone like Ron Jeremy playing king Neptune poking her with his trident???:woot:
