I doubt that her 14 children will be left to starve.<BR/><BR/>She is an isolated case, an outlier. I would find it personally distasteful to see her cash in on her story, becoming a minor celebrity. Most likely that will happen, as it did with the man who had two kids. This kind of geeky stuff is a regular feature of our celebrity culture. <BR/><BR/>What I don't want is the government messing with her or anyone else's rights to get fertility treatments or anything else.miriam sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796668928044011101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9270189.post-54526778375114299822009-02-02T23:12:00.000-05:002009-02-02T23:12:00.000-05:00I would agree that there is something DREADFULLY w...I would agree that there is something DREADFULLY wrong with someone that has never married and has fourteen kids, but my philosophy of individualism keeps me from asking for a government solution to her repeated spawning.<BR/><BR/>My philosophy also keeps me from wanting the government to take my money and give it to this fruitcake.<BR/><BR/>To each, his own, and that means me, too.Paul Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825674914008378242noreply@blogger.com
