Eight is more than enough

“Eight is more than enough,” said Meghan Daum in the Chicago Tribune. Last week’s news that Nadya Suleman, 33, had given birth to eight healthy babies was broken by “grinning doctors” at a California hospital who seemed to want medals for their accomplishment, “but this should not be a cause for celebration.” What started as a feel-good human-interest story “quickly curdled into an ethical morass,” said Sarah Hepola in Salon.com, as it emerged that Suleman is not only unmarried and unemployed—inconvenient, when your annual diaper bill alone is $7,000—but has six children already.
Does that really make her crazy? said Brian Reid in WashingtonPost.com. Granted, most of us wouldn’t want 14 kids, but it’s not my job—or yours—to decide on “an acceptable number” for some other person.

Yes it is mine and the countries best interest to be able to tell this person she cannot have more kids. I mean come on. 14? What are you some kind of Angelina Jolie freak? How can she possibly think she is going to be able to take care of these kids without govt help.
