Who in their right mind wants to conceive a great number of children when one can barely support them self? Nadya Suleman, a single and jobless parent still living in her parents’ home, now has a total of fourteen children whom all range from infancy to seven years of age. It’s a precarious thing, producing so many beings while living the current life this woman does. The fact that she has chosen to take on such a responsibility with so little herself is what draws so much controversy to the table. Is this an immoral act or is it acceptable?
It seems that Nadya Suleman is not one to favor marriage for she has chosen to remain single through the entire process. She is not concerned with having a man in her life yet, creating children is her passion. How is it possible for an individual to become impregnated without the assistance of a companion? Suleman has taken it upon herself and followed the path of in-vitro fertilization (IVF). This process includes the help of a willing donor to provide male substance. All of Suleman’s children have been brought up by this procedure and have the same biological father.
Not all was well when Suleman had developed her first six children; it’s a wonder as to why she chose to continue. Due to her most recent pregnancy of eight children, she has adopted the name “Octuplet Mom” or “Octo-mom”. It seems that she had been implanted with six embryos despite the fact that the suggested instruction for a woman her age was three. During pregnancy, two of the embryos had split, causing twins. In all, eight fetuses were formed within the womb. After only one month, at least five could be spotted and there was the option of removal. To all of our non-existent surprise, Suleman shot this idea down. Once born, all eight infants were in decent shape but have yet to leave the hospital. Their mother is highly concerned about her custody over them.
Responses from the public have been for the most part unenthusiastic, but why wouldn’t they be? Her actions have caused stress among taxpayers due to her inability to care for her own children. It’s not as if the economy’s rough patches have left many with items and money to spare for an inconsiderate woman. Sympathy runs in everyone’s veins but when times are jagged, very little can be administered to others. If you expect to receive any form of compassion, be sure to correspond with the sides of those who are able to present it.
And what is to become of the children? Her only income is that of food stamps and disability payments due to previous pregnancies. How does she expect to provide for a family as large as hers by relying on others’ labor and gratitude? It also seems that a number of her children have taken up a variety of impairment issues. These children will become deprived and have little more than below average to start their lives off in this world. It’s a high doubt that one would like to be known as one of the other thirteen children their mother bore and that she had next to nothing to provide for them.
If a being decides they adore something so well, they should be sure to have the ability to care for what they conceive. These are children’s lives being dealt with and must be handled with the utmost care. Every move made in a situation such as this can cause an even larger effect in the future. Someone who can’t look out for herself should have no opportunity to be in charge of caring for another being.
