okay i don't want to use this as a debate, but rather curious on what your opinions are on the Octo-Mom. i don't want anyone to get upset with anyone's opinions no matter what they are, or how different them MIGHT be from your own.
please tell me what you think....

She disgusts me!
And her Dr disgusts me even more if that's possible!
To start, carrying 8 children is not healthy for the babies OR the mother! Nevermind the unmarried, jobless part of it all. If someone wants 14 children, good for them. But they should be able to afford to care for them. There are enough Oops babies that a mother/parents can't afford to care for, but these were deliberately conceived.
Although I do think death threats is going to far. And I read this morning someone threw a car seat through her van window. That's really not going to help anything!

I agree with Christine!! I mean seriously, she already had 6 kids, two with autism. She has no job and no money, she is living off of the government. How was she even able to afford to be implanted?? Shouldn't she have just taken that money and put it towards her other 6 children???

I completely agree with Christine, Ash and Megan... It seems completely irresponsible of her. I don't care how many children you want, just make sure you can afford to care for them all and are responsible enough to do so. You can't expect taxpayers and the government to take care of them for you.

It's just not fair!!!!!! I will never understand why God lets things like that happen to babies. That's about all I can say about it.

I try to ignore anything and everything about her. We don't even watch the news anymore 98% of the time.

I agree with everyone else 100%!!! She disgusts me and I feel so bad for her children. She's obviously unstable.

I think it's unanimous. Plus, it's obvious that she is looking for attention. Someone had to tell the media and she makes sure that she stays in the media. I feel bad for the children.

Don't worry, she might not have to rely on the Government for much longer. There was a couple stories on the radio this morning that she is seriously considering an offer she received from a Porn Movie company.  (I mini-vomit every time I think about it) Apparently they've offered her one million dollars and life-time health insurance for all of her kids.
Spare me the details - I think she's selfish even for considering it. Again another plea for attention.

I agree with all of you guys. It breaks my heart that these kids have to deal with this. I wish the government would just take her kids away and let them go to good homes. And the porn deal...EW! Like she'd sell a lot!

It is to do the porn flick, but in order to entice her they have told her they would pay for her kids' health insurance.

OMG I didn't hear about the porn deal, that is just so sad  I feel bad for the kids, I agree with Erika, those kids need to be put into good homes where they will have the life they deserve. Not living with a women who had them to "fill an emotional need" That isn't what children are for, they come into your lives once you already are full of everything else. You can't put that kind of pressure on a child!!
