Jon & Kate are even doing quite well. I remember them at the beginning of the show, struggling to feed 8 mouths. Now, they're constantly on vacation and their new house is massive. Apparently, TV is the answer.

Lots of people and companies will chip in with gifts, money, and other types of support. I have a feeling they'll be fine.

If God was so merciful, why would he do this to those people? Hell, i only had 2 siblings 3 years apart from me and I still needed to vying for attention hard. Imagine how middle child #5 feels.

Uhhh, just heard on tv that this lady ALREADY had six children.

I have also heard it claimed that she is a single mom!

Certainly corroborates my longtime theory that modern society is intensely dysgenic!

And she lives with her parents. And six other children. In a two bedroom place. There is no "father"; 'twas a sperm donor and artificial insemination. It just keeps getting better. (Or worse...)

I'd say worse.

Article mentions that it will probably cost about 35 million to raise all 14 kids with a very basic lifestyle.

Situations like this make me think that some kind of regulation is needed for these fertility programs. It was incredibly irresponsible of this lady to have any more kids. Chances are those kids are going to have a **** lifestyle.

This is stupidity at its worst. Poor decisions by all involved, parents, woman and doctors. Unfortunately, the kids will suffer and we will pay for their raising.

It does get even worse. It turns out that one of the six kids this demented baby machine had already cranked out is autistic. She is also almost a million dollars in debt!

Not to dispute the general stupidity of a single woman with 6 kids wanting more, but the study that they cited for that $35 million ($2.5m per kid) price tag is one of the dumbest studies ever done. Unless you're Paris Hilton or something, it doesn't cost anywhere near that amount.
