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.

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.

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...

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?

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.

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
