On Monday, January 26, Nadya Suleman, an unemployed 33 year old single mother of six children in California, gave birth to eight more. Was this some natural, multiple birth? No. Nadya has been quite calculating about her baby production. Her six existing children had all been born as a result of in-vitro fertilization.
Was raising six children while unemployed and living with her parents enough of a challenge for this self-obsessed baby machine? Quite obviously, no.
So she had multiple embryo implants and, voila, eight more babies pop out. That means 14 grandchildren, and 1 daughter, will soon be living with the oh-so-proud grandparents.
Her parents declared bankruptcy. Kind of goes with the moral bankruptcy of their daughter.
What are her plans? She has hired (?!) a public relations firm to arrange for the inevitable tour of the talk shows that have come to pass as our society's culture/entertainment/education/loosener of bowels. Nadya's price? Well, we know what she is, so it's only a matter of negotiating a price, is it not? On February 2, Fox News reported that she is seeking $2 million from Oprah, et cetera. Obscene. Degrading. Disgusting.
Will companies pander to her for her endorsement of everything from baby food to diapers in exchange for free products? Will 'newspapers' like the National Enquirer pay big bucks for exclusive photos? You betcha.
Just think, she's still plenty young enough to have several dozen more. This is America. She only TIED the record for multiple births. She can do better than that! Maybe The Guinness Book of World Records will arrange for live video coverage of Nadya's World Record Birthing Attempt! Nine? No. Ten. Hogwash. A Baker's dozen! 13!
Does Nadya not care about personal responsibility? What about a sense of social responsibility? Why employ extra-ordinary medical methods to add 14 children to an already overpopulated planet? What will young girls think when they read about the publicity and riches that will undoubtedly be showered upon Nadya? Positive role model, huh?
Let's hope that these 14 children can adapt to this bizarre situation, and live healthy, happy, well-adjusted lives. Unlike their mother.
