CapriUni makes an excellent point: this woman was SICK, she's suffering from an (often curable, in the right circumstances) illness, and the fact that her particular disease is an "invisible" one doesn't make it any less real. Clearly, after she suffered so severely after the birth of her 1st child, it should have been apparent that a baby every year was not the best course for this particular woman, and yet 4 more followed in quick succession.

Obviously, there are people who can withstand the stress & pressure of a very large family; that's not at issue here. The issue in this particular case is that THIS woman couldn't. Not because she's evil or inadequate or weak or "possessed by SATAN", for crying out loud, but because she is ill, and if they take her life for that (although I'm sure at this point that wouldn't seem a hardship or even a punishment to her; she's having her hell right now), it reflects very poorly indeed on the justoice system of a nation that has been so VERY vocal on the subject of the inhumane and uncivilised behaviour other countries.
