well, it sounds like she won't be paid as much as some before her have been. I'm sickened by this every time it happens. Rewarding people for medically altered pregnancies is just fucking bizarre. I won't even go into the number of these folks that would protest abortion clinics because people "shouldn't play god".
Yeah, it's completely exploiting the system. The Today Show was speculating it could cost taxpayers $3.5 million just for the octuplets first hospital stay. It's frustrating because any fix they might come up with would probably penalize the other people that actually need the financial assistance.
I don't think there'll be that many copycat cases, if only because with folks having less disposable income, they ain't gonna be buying no books about all the families of litters. That, and TLC only has so much time to devote to ginormous families. They gotta make room for bottomless parents, little people, and the overmorbidly obese. The more multiple families there are, the less valuable they become. And with people struggling with raising their 2.3 kids, they ain't gonna wanna watch families where women are popping them out like lotto balls out of the machine.
