It is outrageous that NBC paid Nadya $300,000 for a “news” interview. As for IVF, roughly 50% of cases I know of (such as Elizabeth Edwards and my wife) later came down with cancer. I am getting more and more like the Pope about these IVF hucksters (who get tens of thousands from insurance companies for producing a few babies while there are lots of poor, abused, and abandoned babies needing homes. I am more convinced than ever that IVF is largely a profession of ethically-challenged hack physicians who like to play God for cash. The IVF clinic and NOT the taxpayers should bear the entire burden of raising these kids.

I think a lot of people are wondering just how she managed all the IVF fees, and will manage to support all these children… certainly not on her salary as some sort of psychiatric technician or even on the disability payments she received after the back injury.

I have a hard-enough time wrapping my brain around the desire for one or two kids, much less such a brood as she has willfully done.

Her parents apparently were well-off at one time, but are not now. Still, just feeding, housing, and clothing them will take a significant amount of scratch.

This is wrong on so many levels; it makes my head hurt. It’s been reported that even her own mother says she’s crazy.
