It appears that Nadya Suleman AKA Octomom, the mother of the 14 kids (who, by the way, is jobless, can’t afford her kids and had 6 children before she had the most recent 8 implanted) appears to be the inspiration for a new Georgia state law that will put limits on the amount of children that in-vitro fertlization can produce at a time. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.
A Georgia state senator introduced legislation to limit the number of embryos that can be implanted in a woman’s uterus during in-vitro fertilization procedures.
Sen. Ralph Hudgens, a Republican from near Athens, Georgia, said his legislation was inspired by Nadya Suleman, the woman who said she gave birth to octuplets after being fertilized with six embryos — an unusually high number.
“She is not married,” said Hudgens. “She is unemployed, she is on government assistance and now she is going to put those 14 children on the back of the taxpayers in the state of California.”
Suleman, 33, had six children before the procedure.
Hudgens’ plan, which was co-sponsored by several other senators, would limit the number of embryos a doctor could implant to two for women under 40 years old and three for women 40 or older.
