Has anyone asked how she could afford a procedure which costs $10,000-$15,000 per attempt – of which only about a quarter are successful?

And what sort of idiot physicians do IVF on a woman who already had 6 kids? {{IVF is a sort subject with me anyway since my late wife did 3 tries with 15 eggs and wound up with breast cancer – as did Elizabeth Edwards and other women I know}}.

Or are they also seen as a “retirement annuity” like the practice is in my glorious country of South Africa?

I am interested: can she sue the doctors who implanted her for child-support? Wouldn’t THAT have made for great reporting!
