Octuplets media coverage is getting harsh

Media coverage of Nadya Suleman, 33, who gave birth to the octuplets has ranged from:
1 - a miracle that anyone can have eight children, and that they all survived childbirth.
2 - amazement that anyone can have eight children.
3 - congratulations and support for the mother, then
4 - finding out about the fertilization treatments, also six other children
5 - outrage over the fertilization treatments.
6 - condemning the use of fertilization and the mother for having eight children out of wedlock, especially in this economy.
7 - counseling for the mother and her parents.
8 - family ostricizing the mother because they feel she was obsessed with having children.

What's Next?

I'm no doctor, I'm no economist and I'm no social worker, but for whatever reason this woman had to undergo fertilization to have more children, is her own. Obviously, with the current economy in crisis and her being a single mom with an extremely large family, particularly with the newborns, weighs heavily on the minds of many people and I'm sure she has been having some serious thoughts also.

According to an Associated Press report, she has a degree in child and adolescent development and is studying for a master's degree in counseling, so she is not someone people can label as "unintelligient." One issue lies with the fertility treatment, that is allowing her to undergo the procedure although she already had six children. Someone dropped the ball doing background research.

Nadya Suleman's mother was counseled to get out of the house. I guess forcing her out on the street will "wake her up" and end her obsession with having children. It makes me wonder about what counselors think about family values. Before this modern age of medicine, there were cases of people who have had large families of six or more; some married, some not. What about those families that lost a loved one to some tragic incident or natural causes and left a single parent to carry the responsibility of raising the children? I know of many people who talk about the size of their family, whether it was from childbirth or by remarrying, the fact remains that it is a family, big or small.
I think Nadya Suleman knew the risks of that fertilization treatment and apparently she has the determination and spirit to raise her children, no matter what other people are saying.

I think the focus now should be on helping this woman get back to health so she can nurture her children, instead of berating her.
