I think that the woman is incredibly selfish. In the interview on tv, she said she underwent several IVF procedures because she was an only child growing up and so now she wants a really big family. She is ruining the lives of these children in order to fulfill her twisted fantasy. Moreover, she was stupid enough to admit that she had the IVF again because she did not want to waste the eggs! so she put ALL of the 6 eggs in her! So what she is saying is she wants to risk the chance of having 6 or more babies in addition to her 6 and risk the chance of not being able to raise them properly JUST so she wouldn't have to WASTE the eggs! The clinic should not have given her the procedure. It is not discrimination to look at salary/number of children before performing yet ANOTHER IVF procedure--it is responsibility. Of course they did not know that 8 zygotes would result, but they did know that it was very much possible. IVF procedures often result in twins/triplets, etc. They also should have known better than to agree to put all 6 of the fertilized eggs in her. If she did not want to abort, that is fine, but she nor the clinic should have gone through with the procedure.
