Nadya Suleman is a 33-year-old single mom who already had six children from IVF. She underwent fertility treatments again in hopes of having more children. Nadya used the same fertility specialist for all of her children. He already knew she had six children, yet he continued to treat her for infertility and this time he implanted eight (or six?) embryos. Now Nadya’s doctor is under scrutiny for implanting such a large amount of embryos. According to doctors, medical guidelines state to implant only two embryos.

Nadya also denies accepting government assistance, but now it has been confirmed that she receives food stamps and disability for three of her children. NBC chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman has estimated the cost of delivering the infants and caring for them until they are healthy enough to leave the hospital at $1.5 million to $3 million. Nadya defends her actions by saying that she was an only child and always dreamed of having a very large family.

Normally, I would stay out of this and let her live her life, but it seems as though Nadya’s choices are affecting more than herself. What do you think about this situation?
