Dr James Grifo, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the New York University School of Medicine, added: "I don’t think it's our job to tell them how many babies they’re allowed to have. I am not a policeman for reproduction in the United States. My role is to educate patients."

Gahh. This is the same medical system where a woman can't get her tubes tied because she's not ready to make that decision.
did anyone notice this part?

It's make believe. 8-)
FTR, I do like Jon & Kate plus 8. It drew me in a month or so ago.
That said...I find this situation pretty appalling. There's two stories going around. One, she is a single mother, living at home with her parents, taking fertility drugs. Story two, says she has a husband who is due to go off to Iraq soon.
Either way though, the kids under 7? And if she IS a single parent? Living in a small house, all of them? That's just not right. I go visit my in-laws and if my brother has his kids (3 of them), and we have ours (2) it's a madhouse, a literal madhouse.
And I'm with Emmieslost about overpopulation. I think the U.S. has a problem with this, and this is just not..right. So, people will donate, and these people will get a show, a new house, yada yada. It pisses me off, cos there's single parent families, with ONE child who cannot make it. I don't see them getting much for donations, and rushes for tv shows :(

The one story is quoting the mother of the woman who states her husband is going to Iraq for contract work. So, the grandfather?

Perhaps. It seems there's a bit of back peddling since the story first broke.
He's probably going to Iraq to get the hell out of that madhouse :lol:
Or maybe six months ago she was married. :lol:
From what I understand it is the grandfather going to Iraq.
I understand that no one can tell someone how many children to have but this is just absurd. The only reason I can see for the woman doing this is for oppurtunity to become the next TLC family.
I hate to sound judgemental because I don't know this woman's story. Doesn't IVF cost a lot of money? Personally, I would need to have total financial security, single or married to keep having children. Money isn't everything but besides the basic food, shelter, clothing I would need and want full time nanaies to make sure each child was getting hugged and snuggled with enough, a full time chef to insure they are all eating a balanced diet, a bus driver to shuttle all the kids to all their daily activities, a couple of full time maids to do laundry and clean and all becasue I would want to spend as much time as possible with my 8934 kids.
I think it's ridiculous and don't see how you effectively parent so many children without endless resources.
I think one day there will come a time when there will have to be restrictions on how many babies people can have. The earth has a finite amount of resources to sustain us, and that limit will eventually be reached unless the population is held in check. Nature helps us out with part of it, but not enough to keep us from growing in numbers.

Progress to be China? That will never happen. We would first have to give up the fertility treatments, the idea of cloning and the fight against aging. The natural way to curb over population is death and science is fighting that. You need the young work, create and manage. There will probably be a lottery system....It's PEOPLE! Soylent Green is People!

I had to look up Soylent Green. That's funny.
We will also have to take away these huge tax credits that people get for having kids. This family will probably get $1,500 a kid. That's $21,000! We should get money for NOT having kids.

Exactly!
I just heard Paul Harvey's "the rest of the story" on this.
They already had six kids?
And were on fertility meds?
And have eight more?
These two parents might be some of the worst sociopaths in our country...WTF!?!?!?
I am abjectly disgusted.
