earlier today, a woman outside los angeles gave birth to OCTUPLETS. six boys and two girls, some weighing less than two pounds. delivered by caesarean, they all were born within five minutes of each other. what -- scooped out like fish teaming in a barrel?the mother is expected to be in hospital a few more days, but the infants will be in at least two months.
doctors were quite candid about mothers who conceive with fertility drugs "selectively reducing to a viable number of fetuses." that she chose to carry all of them as long as possible was "unusual".
oh, and it was so crowded in the womb, docs thought she only had seven wrigglers in there. surprise!
forty-six medical staff were involved in the delivery.
the babies were nine weeks premature. three of them could not breathe on their own.
the mother of the *first* set of octies born in the u.s. calls it a "blessing". no. it. is. not. it's science and ego run wildly amok.
this is so profoundly wrong and garish on so many levels i'm speechless. truly.
