It seems that Aussiefriend is always disagreeing with American law, however, we too have rules about what doctors can and can't do, that is why the IVF doctor in this situation is facing the possibility of losing his license. As for the Austrailian law that does not allow adoption or IVF for single people, that is just outright stupid. I'm single and have chosen not to have children. However, if I wanted one or more, I sure as hell could afford to raise them. It seems very asinine to pay for everyone to get on the country dime that keeps having children at the cost of the tax payer but disallow people who can afford to adopt or receive IVF to have children. Does anyone see this as stupid besides me? As for Octomom, as well as every other irresponsible parent that keeps having children, our country should pass laws that allow you to have a child, but if you can't afford that childt you are spayed or neutered to keep you from breeding further. No questions asked. All those on the state/federal dime know that you get a check per child and they refuse to go to work. I know this, I work with this crap every day. Our system rewards the lazy and punishes/taxes the workers. Rent the movie Idiocracy...it is prophetic.
