And apparently implanting 8 embryos is, shall we say, not standard procedure.
And oh, hey look, financial troubles too!
I think this is messed up. I think jendaviswilson is right, I too believe there should be some investigation of the process here. People have the right to have children, but if they're going to do it on this scale I think there's got to be a minimum level of responsibility, and I think this is below it. If you should have to prove you're not crazy to get your tubes tied, you'd darn well better prove it before you use doctors to get pregnant.
OK, that's getting into the serious medical malpractice category, and makes me wonder if this woman wanted the fame or world record or whatever. I don't know of any reputable fertility doctor who would implant more than 4, and that in really rare circumstances...
She had to have doctor-shopped, in order to accomplish this. I mean, unmarried women often have to doctor-shop to get tubal ligations if they're not of a certain age, and it's _ethical_ to do that procedure with good counseling about sterilization regret and good consent forms.

Yes, yes, and yes, this is a messed up situation.
