LA Times: Those octuplets “give some… the heebie-jeebies”
The Tracker paid little attention, other than to wonder what the doctors were thinking during the pregnancy, to news of eight infants from one mother in one day at a Kaiser facility in Southern California. Scrolling through feeds as the day wanes today, I find the Los Angeles Times‘s Shari Roan and Jeff Gottlieb got immediately on the phone to ask experts their opinion of such a pregnancy, risky to mother and to offspring, and of how it came fully to term. One authoritative source told them, “if a medical practitioner had anything to do with it, there’s some degree of inappropriate medical therapy there.” The story is fairly long, and includes a good deal of information on the risks of such extreme, multiple births.
