Not until the science is more exact, and then women will regulate themselves. I don't understand the desire to have a litter of kids, but I don't understand what it feels like having great difficulty to conceive, which is the more likely situation when dealing with multiple births resulting from these cases.

I would have NO difficulty selectively aborting one or more of the fetuses of a multiple birth of this type, but that's my choice, and I have no right to ask other women to make that decision.

What was she seeking, this women with 6 children? One more? Two more? I don't know enough about the case. I have a feeling that 8 viable fetuses was not what she expected, but she choose to keep all--- seven was it? When she thought there was 7 not 8? She knew what she was getting into, obviously decided against selective abortion and through her OWN choices is not getting much sleep and won't be for some time I suspect.

This is a rare case, and one that's gotten a lot of media attention. I agree that it's not a great situation to say the least. She'll get lots of support from corporate sponsors, who love litters of children and the women who bear them, and certain churches who are quite smug when a litter is born of woman and offer much support.

So I think and hope her kids will be OK.

Having fertility treatments be regulated is not the answer. Fertility treatments aren't that easy, they often don't work, and women who wish to have children have to follow a pretty strict regimen. The science isn't advanced enough or we wouldn't be having these disgusting little scenarios.
