Mother of 6 gives birth to 8 more

A mother of six kids sought fertility treatment to have more kids. Does anyone else have an issue with this?

(CNN) -- The mother of a woman who gave birth on Monday to octuplets said her daughter already has six children at home and was undergoing fertility treatment.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday that Angela Suleman said her daughter had the embryos implanted last year, resulting in the eight births.

"They all happened to take," Suleman told the Times. "I looked at those babies. They are so tiny and so beautiful."

The woman declined to have the number of embryos reduced when she discovered she was carrying multiples, the Times reported. The six older siblings range from ages 7 to 2, according to the newspaper.

Suleman said she was concerned about her daughter's homecoming because her husband, a contract worker, is due to return to Iraq.

I am no great environmentalist, but, we are becoming an ever-more crowded planet facing issues because of our presence. And, in this bailout age, who is going to be paying for these kids? Does her contractor husband in Iraq pull down the income to support the six, not to mention 14 kids? So, more than likely, resources will be required from friends, family, community, commerce and government to support this brood. If so, this is a tad selfish and irresponsible on the part of this family.
