WTF Stories of the Week

With the Mom of octuplets - they said that she received counseling about the risks of carrying 7 babies to term, and she refused selective abortion. I respect her right to make THAT decision, but WHAT fertility clinic implanted that many embryos in the FIRST place without going through extensive counseling. I was under the impression that they would implant fewer embryos if you weren't willing to go through selective abortion.

The fact that there's been NO mention of a fertility clinic makes me think they KNOW they messed up. I mean, what clinic doesn't make sure a mother gets prenatal care in her first trimester? (Or maybe they did, but it didn't come from the place that delivered the babies)

And where the heck is Daddy?!
