This has been talk show fodder for over a week on the Sunset Coast. Beyond the initial news, I've pretty much ignored it. She has earned the sobriquet of "OctoMom."

According to what what my wife says she's heard and read about this case:

The mom has been married and divorce; none of her children are from that marriage.

The implantation was done by a doctor unknown. Most doctors who perform this procedure implant only 2 or 3 embryos. Some have called the unknown doc unethical.

The grandmother says she was against her daughter's pregnancies, and plans to leave when mother and babes come home. She (the GM) is currently caring for the other six children of the lady in question.

Mom has been on Workman's Compensation for years, as well collecting food stamps and Aid For Dependent Children.

She has been noted as saying she wants a television show posing as an expert in child-rearing.

A couple of radio hosts have said that the OctoMom should be arrested for child endangerment (too many kids), and the children should be removed from her home and care.

I will gladly pass on any other questions you might have to Mrs. Coast for you edification, and amazement. I almost said 'amusement' but I find nothing funny in this situation.
