I noticed a few strange human birth stories making the news recently.
The story of the woman who gave birth to octuplets on January 26th became more shocking as the facts started trickling out. Now octuplets are an amazing phenomena, more associated with rabbits and cats rather than humans. Then came the news that the woman already had six children. Ouch! Indeed she was assisted through in-vitro fertilization. However, excuse my naivety, why on earth would a hospital implant six embryos into anyone? - Two of these embryos allegedly held twins if you were wondering about the maths.
Adding more spice to the story, it transpires this single parent is collecting welfare for the children she already has. Now her house is about to be repossessed.
Having originally demanded anonymity Nadya Suleman has now set up her own website for donations, has hired her own publicist and has been rumoured to be demanding US$2,000,000 to appear with Oprah Winfrey. Now that really would go a long way.
Ms. Nadya Suleman will certainly have her hands full for the next 20 odd years.
A recent story about Alfie Patten, a 13 year old father hit the news in UK. His 15 year old girlfriend, Chantelle gave birth to Maisie this week. It was reported that four foot Alfie enjoys computer games, boxing and Manchester United.
