Nadya Suleman

California may be all right with Nadya Suleman having octuplets, but one state senator says such a thing shouldn't happen in the great state of Georgia.

Republican Sen. Ralph Hudgens has introduced a bill that would limit women under 40 to two embryos and women over 40 to three. A doctor implanted Nadya, 33, with six, a number that violated the medical field's self-regulations. The American Society For Reproductive Medicine supports limiting embryos to two for women under 35, and five for women over 40.

Defending his legislation, Sen. Hudgens said:

She is not married, 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.

Critics worry that Georgia fertility doctors would lose business to neighboring states. Others think that the bill is an attempt to outlaw abortion, since it defines an in vitro embryo as a human being.

I'm sure there would be outrage if a law attempted to limit natural conceptions. Do you think government should step in to stop an "octomom" repeat, or should it be left to the medical community?

The story of Nadya Suleman and her octuplets is all over the news these days. As I'm sure you've heard, Nadya, who was unable to conceive naturally, turned to fertility treatment and got whole lot more than she bargained for.

Her eggs were removed from her ovaries and fertilized with sperm donated from her friend, and whether it was right or wrong, she had all six embryos transferred into her uterus (two split, and that's how she ended up with eight babies). In an effort to defend her decision to plant all six, she recently argued with her mother saying, "The only thing you can do with frozen embryos is use them or destroy them." Nadya considered those frozen embryos to be lives, and felt that destroying them would be just like having an abortion. To that, her mother responded with, "The other option is, give them up for adoption."

I know this is an emotional and heated topic of discussion, but since we talk about things like pregnancy and abortion on DearSugar all the time, I thought you'd all have something to say about this too. So tell me, if you went through fertility treatments, what would you choose to do with your frozen embryos?

Deena Marie Manzanares is pretty good at imitating the mesmerizing weirdness that is Nadya Suleman, octomommy. (Those lips threaten to take over the entire screen.) She pretty much says it all when she makes the following gaffe: "All I ever wanted was fame money, notoriety — I mean, children." Mmm, hmmm.

Nadya Suleman, mama to octuplets and a total of 14 children, has caused quite a bit of hoopla in recent weeks. All the media attention has raised questions as to the sperm donor's identity. Denis Beaudoin, a former boyfriend of Suleman's, came forward to talk about the possibility that the kids are his. While in his 20s and dating the now-famous woman, he made several sperm donations on her behalf when she told him she had ovarian cancer. In retrospect, he says he should have asked more questions. Would you give your eggs or sperm to a boyfriend or girlfriend so readily?

The single mother of octuplets, Nadya Suleman who has 14 children in all, was released from the hospital early Thursday morning.

Much of America gasped when they found out the single mother of octuplets, Nadya Suleman, already had six children, all of which were supposedly conceived by donor sperm and fertility treatments.

While the public continues to speculate on why the 33-year-old mama decided to pursue a sizable brood she likely cannot afford, her own mother has been talking to the press. Angela Suleman who lives with her daughter and is helping to care for the older charges has commented that her daughter being an only child might have played a role in her obsession with children among other statements. Do you think it's appropriate for this mom to speak out about her daughter?
