Not to be bitchy but....

Have you seen the movie Idiocracy? It was worth seeing once, the premise is that 1000 years from now the planet is filled with really dumb people because all the smart people put off having babies for their careers or only have 1 or 2 children, while the dumb people replicate like rabbits therefore diluting the gene pool.
I can't help but think of that movie in the last two weeks with the story of the octuplets that have been born. Now don't get me wrong, i like babies. I encourage people to have children, even multiple children. But how is it responsible to have 14 babies in 6 different pregnancies when you are living out of your mother's house, without income? How is it that people i know who CHOOSE not to have children because they know it's not the right thing for them to do have people looking down their noses at them while this idiot and people in similar situations like the Duggar family (who granted have spaced their 18 children out and have enough income to stay afloat without the government) get their own tv shows and hours of news media attention?
And what doctor in his right mind would implant 6 embryos at once, i understand the necessity to implant more than one, really i get it, IVF fails in most cases but if you were a doctor who had done 5 other IVF procedures on this woman which produced 6 children, why would you risk implanting 6 embryos knowing full well there was a possibility that they could all take?
The guy i feel the worst for in this situation though is the poor schmuck that donated his sperm when this chick asked him 8 years ago for him to help her have A child. I bet he is shitting his pants knowing that now he has 14 biological children with a mother with no means of income. Poor dude.
Anyway, enough bitching for now, happy monday!
