That's just it. Life isn't fair.
This woman has a professional license in some field I can't recall at this moment.
apparently she will require no public assistance...
I hope you're right, that she will require no public assistance, but if news reports are accurate her choices have already had an impact on her parents' creditors. They reportedly filed for bankruptcy and lost their house trying to support her and her kids....

before the current financial situation, child protection agencies were strapped to keep up.
what are the odds of all of these siblings staying together...legal adoption is out of the question while the biological mother is still alive. foster care is stretched to the limit in most states and has been for some time.
no one wants more government interference, but his is what happens without some type of regulation.
There are unethical Drs. out there, imagine that !

Nadya Suleman holds a 2006 degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, Fullerton, and as late as last spring she was studying for a master's degree in counseling, college spokeswoman Paula Selleck told the Press-Telegram.
I have a Master's in Counseling and trust me, it's not a big bucks career.
Love that picture Lulu!

Dr. James Grifo, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the NYU School of Medicine, added: "I don't think it's our job to tell them how many babies they're allowed to have. I am not a policeman for reproduction in the United States. My role is to educate patients."

Latest rumor from
Perez Hilton
33-year-old Nadya Suleman, the single mother who recently gave birth to a litter 8 kids, is asking for $2 million from suitors for sit-down media interviews. And she's all seeking commercial sponsors to help afford her 14 kids. Yes, 14.
Suleman, who lives in a 2 bedroom house with her bankrupt parents and older 6 kids (all under the age of 8, one of whom is autistic), plans on speaking with Oprah and Diane Sawyer, and getting paid for it.
But, the controversy surrounding her test tube babies may hinder Suleman's earning power, as Suleman's familial, financial, employment, and possibly mental circumstances are less than ideal, with the woman described as "obsessed with children."
Her fertility doctors are under some scrutiny as well, with experts stunned by their apparent lack of responsibility.
Nadya reportedly wants her own television series as a childcare expert.
Yeah, good luck with that one, crazy!

So she wants to tell her story and get paid. I would too. I wonder how much of all this is true, I had heard she had filled for bankruptcy, not her folks, and I haven't heard any facts around her mental circumstances being "less than ideal", except for the fact she is happy with having 14 kids. Sometimes people seem crazy because they don't think like you and me and sometimes people appear crazy because that's what the media and the Mrs. Kravitz's of the world want you to think. I think I'll reserve my judgement when I see her interviewed without editing.
And who the hell is Perez Hilton, anyway?

Who is Perez Hilton
It's also being reported on other more main stream media.
IMHO a single woman who has 6 kids, one who is autistic has to be a tad bit touched.
See an interview without editing?? What is this the land of free press?
