We have the technology, but must we use it? Puppy mill is an apt term indeed - when dogs are bred indiscriminately for the sole purpose of quantity and, I will add, MAKING MONEY, the offspring usually suffer. Birth defects abound. This is quite likely to happen in this case, too. The woman's mother said that there were 8 embryos in storage and she didn't want to waste them. So some quackjob of a doctor implanted all eight. This was not necessary.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I question the idea of evolution solely because it seems, in cases such as this, that we are going BACKWARD.Vollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514280952695776270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-56311691228670475772009-01-30T19:13:00.000-08:002009-01-30T19:13:00.000-08:00So you think calling the children "puppies" i.e. d...So you think calling the children "puppies" i.e. dogs is fine and that the mother's actions equate to what goes on in a puppy mill? Really? Do you know how those dogs are treated? And that's relevant to this story how, exactly?<BR/><BR/>From what I've seen of this story from many different sources, nobody seems to have the story straight. Everyone sure has their judgmental opinion about the mother and family involved though.<BR/><BR/>If people want to talk about IVF - and it's not even clear that she actually had embryos implanted - fine. Talk about those issues. But all I've seen in the blogosphere today is people - so-called "progressives" using personal attacks against people they know nothing about except what the MSM is feeding them.catniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444186590009089070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-20038131464521847392009-01-30T17:51:00.000-08:002009-01-30T17:51:00.000-08:00Hardly inappropriate.

How is it that this woman needed to go back to her sperm bank account after successfully conceiving 6 healthy children?<BR/><BR/>And how could any medical practitioner allow it?<BR/><BR/>I'm all for live and let live but when the family is actively securing media coverage (e.g. photo gig with a major tattle tale magazine) and donations from the public, you do have to wonder whether there is some kind of exploitation at play.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-12621184147540064032009-01-30T13:52:00.000-08:002009-01-30T13:52:00.000-08:00"puppy mill"?How insulting.I understand you have c..."puppy mill"?<BR/><BR/>How insulting.<BR/><BR/>I understand you have concerns but that term seems rather inappropriate.catniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444186590009089070noreply@blogger.com
