Question about Invitro and Nadya Suleman?

Her mother is Latvian and her father is Persian. I think this situation is a wake up call for medical ethicists and the board governing invitro fertility implantation. Every medical expert agrees that implanting that many embryos was a risk for both mother and babies. They are currently evaluating the children for mental and physical disabilities. The real problem is the care necessary for those children. For example, there will need to be at least 64 feedings per day and who knows how many diaper changes. She wasn't thinking ahead when she decided to have the children how she would be able to care for them and afford their care. Although I am not certain what the answers are, I am sure that the taxpayers in the state of California are outraged with the entire situation. We live in a state with over 10% unemployed, our food stamp program, umemployment funds and state budget are in crisis. We have people living in tent cities and resources from water to electricity are in scarce supply. The human side of our hearts feels for the children, but our intellect tells us that she did not consider those needs in advance of making her decision.
