In summary: That's appalling. It seems she may have bought the fertiltiy drugs illegally. No accredited clinic would do such a thing, supposedly. Perhaps she's mentally ill a la Angelina Jolie with her insane desire to keep popping out kids?The report does not say she took fertility drugs.In summary, according to reports, a woman in California has given birth to eight octuplets, six of which she says she conceived naturally.

Eeww. For the record, I am NOT going to have my baby's birth taped. First, who ever watches their wedding videos again? (BTW, we didn't have one done... we did a nice old fashioned elope-at-the-courthouse wedding.) Second, I just can't picture my husband being able to do that. He'd be a stand-at-the-head-of-the-bed guy, holding my hand IF I'm lucky. BUT third... he's going to be lucky if I allow him in the room in the first place. If anything looks a bit off (even me being in a bit of pain), he's prone to going ballistic at the doctors and getting himself hauled out and threatened with jail-time.

I think they are all deeply personal events and call for focus in the moment. Recording them with the distance or detachment of a cinematographer is not what is called for. Nor is it how they will ever be remembered.

Why distort the experience with the demands of clinical detachment?

She's been trying for this since the begining. I think that public opinion of her was too negative at the time for her to get any sort of contract.
