They were equally disturbed by Carole’s agreement to have six fertilised embryos implanted in her womb to increase the chances of success — a practice long considered high-risk in Britain.

Have we learned nothing from octomom?

You know when feminists or women in general like to try to damage control or beat around the bushes of the paternity fraud issue by saying things like "Oh, your genetic link to a child shouldn't matter That's not all there is to being a father"?

Well, now that we have a situation where the child doesn't actually belong to the woman, many women now believe otherwise with statements like:

"As a single older woman I can certainly understand the wish to have one's own biological children. I know the heartache that for me it will now not be possible. I didn't find "the one" to marry in my younger days and did not wish to go down the single mother road - it wasn't so acceptable in my generation. But I simply cannot understand, and never have been able to understand, the urge some women have to go through pregnancy and giving birth at an older age with all its very real risks and costs if the eggs are not one's own. What on earth is the point? You are not passing your own genes on."

"i'm happy for her and i hope she goes on to live a healthy and long life. however the kids are not hers by carrying them it doesn't make them hers she should have just adopted."

‘It was a bit frightening, and a vision went through my mind of six cots — but when I went for my first scan on July 5, it showed three embryos. The other three had not taken.’

Pregnant with triplets, Carole realised the enormity of her situation. The cool-headed manner in which she decided to deal with it, did, she admits, upset some of her friends.

At 13 weeks, she opted for a selective reduction, whereby a needle was passed into one of the embryo’s hearts and injected with a chemical to stop it beating.

WTF
