My biggest issue with this (and honestly I don't care that much) - is that it's likely that at least 8 embryos were implanted via IVF - I think that is absolutely irresponsible. Most clinics will not implant more than 2 if you're under 40 and 3 if you're over 40. Here in Calgary, they are very strict about this, and it is my understanding that most other fertility clinics in North America are the same.
Jon and Kate ended up with 6 kids without undergoing IVF - they had an unmonitored IUI cycle with fertility drugs. That's a completely different ball park than when you're dealing with IVF and fertilized embryos.
