God has a reason why some women can't have children. I'm one of those women who can't have children, but I accept it as Gods plan for me and my husband. To take IVF is messing with nature. I love children, have many neices and nephews all born natural without fertility drugs. If it is natural Sextuplets then that would be Gods gifts, but to mess with nature is wrong! This is nuts!

Naturally occurring multiple births are a rarity in humans and when they take place these days it seems that the media and the "fertility specialists" as well as the parents are being glorified. It's shocking to hear this media madness while patients are laying on gurneys in our hospital hallways in the same province or being flown off to Alberta for medical care. Meanwhile hotshot teams of medical specialists are focused on the survival of this litter that IMO ought never to have been artificially created. My husband and I watched the doctor in question on TV telling use what a huge financial expense the parents had undertaken to conceive to evoke empathy and public support for continued litter creation. Luckily the reporter was on top of the issue and equipped with facts and figures hence the doctor had to admit that if the litter survives then on the the day they leave that hospital the taxpayers here will be faced with a million dollar bill. Thereafter the doctor reluctantly admitted that 30% of all multiple birth babies will have long term serious health problems that will last them a lifetime and treatment will be financed by the public purse. Have we all gone absolutely bonkers? Dogs and cats have litters.

(i wonder how many of those IVF babies have trouble conceiving).. if there is a drop in population, could that mean its a natural function, look at lemmings, they will breed till there is no more room, then die out.. look at any creature, if the population gets too much for the resources, there will be deaths and the population will drop.. all we have to do is look at nature, and we will see similar links to us, we are not beyond nature, we are part of it, we just have the arrogance to think we are beyond nature, that we can keep growing more and more, without thought. ok i am going to say something that has got me into trouble before, but i am convinced its the right attitude.
