It seems like a serious violation of medical ethics above all

There's been talk that she went to Mexico for the IV treatment since no American doctor would implant all eight fetuses at once.

Nope. The fertility doctor that she used has a practice I believe in Beverly Hills. He's declining any interviews with the media, but other fertility doctors have come out in criticism of his medical irresponsibility. One went on the record to say that what he did by implanting 7 embryo's into Ms. Nuleman was unethical and should be illegal. Unfortunately, there are no regulations for the fertility industry. The state of California should enact legislation that would instate regulations.

Ahh ok. That makes more sense. When I heard about the "Mexican Doctor" rumor, I thought to myself "How the hell did she get 8 frozen embryos across the border??"

LOS ANGELES – Police said Thursday they will investigate death threats against octuplet mom Nadya Suleman and advise her publicist on how to handle a torrent of other nasty messages that have flooded his office.

Word that the 33-year-old single, unemployed mother is receiving public assistance to care for the 14 children she conceived through in vitro fertilization has stoked furor among many people.

Police Lt. John Romero said officers were meeting with Suleman's publicist Mike Furtney about the flood of angry phone calls and e-mail messages against Suleman, her children and Furtney.

"We are aware of the media accounts of the threats, and that they are being sent to the West Los Angeles detectives for appropriate action," Romero said.

Furtney said 500 new e-mails were received early Thursday.

"We're talking to the Los Angeles Police Department to get their best advice as to how to regard these messages," Furtney said as the phone in his office rang constantly.

He is also consulting with a security professional to get advice on any precautions that might need to be taken.

Suleman is living in an undisclosed location and spends time with all her kids every day, Furtney said. The octuplets are expected to remain in the hospital for several more weeks.

Not all the calls have been angry. One family from the Midwest has invited Suleman and her brood to live on their farm, Furtney said.

"One thing that keeps me from jumping out the window is that we've heard from many people offering some kind of support: clothing, food, financial or other help," Furtney said.

Suleman has been supporting her six other children with $490 a month in food stamps and receives Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters that could total $2,379 a month.

She has estimated her in vitro fertilization procedures have cost $100,000.

Suleman has said she saved for the treatments by working double shifts and also used money from a disability award exceeding $165,000 that she received after an on-the-job back injury.

The benefits were discontinued last year.

The Suleman octuplets' medical costs have not been disclosed, but in 2006, the average cost for a premature baby's hospital stay in California was $164,273, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Eight times that equals $1.3 million.

For a single mother, the cost of raising 14 children through age 17 ranges from $1.3 million to $2.7 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

I remember someone saying this would happen especially with the economic crisis here, some people are bound to be offended but writting threat emails...i think thats a bit too far!

is the octoplet mom had a surgery on her lips that she looks like Angelina?

one of the news reported even if she gets her masters degree her profession only pays around $40,000 a year. hardly enough to support 14 kids. they said she would need about $140,000/year. i think she is one of those people who big bull shisters. she doesnt have a clue. but im sure she will sign on to some jon and kate plus 8 shows and do fine. people are nosey and will watch it just to see what happens.

Maybe she'll get her own parenting guru show she always wanted. Maybe Michael Jackson will co-host.

Personally, I don't find any of this funny. I guess I just don't get how one feels better by finger pointing.

Lighten up. Otherwise, offter up suggestions as to what should be done. If you are serious about not giving her any attention, then prove it and stop posting in these threads about her.

[Peikko 1,575]

There is nothing that can be done at this stage about what has happened but certainly an investigation into the business practice of the Dr in the case seems a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

[Sprailenes 47]

Take the focus off of her and we should focus on these kids, none of them asked for it. What are we going to do to ensure that they will be okay?

I'll 'lighten up' when we cease to encourage a voyeuristic society. No good comes from these types of case, not for the people involved, their families and certainly not for the greater good of society. As to why I post in threads about it, why, to shut you vultures up!
