11. – of course. Men should refuse to sleep with women they are not married to.

“Should anything be done at all to prevent the many more cases of women who have children they can’t care for but then go out and get pregnant again, not with medical help, but through plain ol’ sleeping around?”

YES! I feel that as long as taxpayers are supporting people who continue to have children they cannot afford or in other ways adequately care for, a reversible form of sterilization should be required in order to qualify for free food, housing, and medical care. If they turn their situation around, the sterilization is reversible. But if they don’t, they can no longer bring children into the world they can’t afford to raise.

There are “implied” guidelines in that we, as physicians (or as responsible human beings in general), should use our judgment to do what’s best in this world, but no, doctors are not expected, or in some cases, not permitted to make decisions on who can and cannot receive medical services. Again, some have been the victims of major lawsuits, because they dared to judge who should get fertility services. I am in agreement with you that there should not be careless indiscriminate offering of fertility services to everyone, but then this also begs the question: Should anything be done at all to prevent the many more cases of women who have children they can’t care for but then go out and get pregnant again, not with medical help, but through plain ol’ sleeping around?

I echo Robin’s post in the opinion that there is something very wrong with this woman, and she shouldn’t have been allowed to have more children while unable to work or care for her current children. Are there guidelines for allowing patients to have fertility assistance? When I decided to get pregnant using donor sperm, it required a meeting with my PCP and her signature approving that I was considered healthy enough to undergo the procedure – and that included financial, emotional, and physical health. I’m surprised as much consideration isn’t given to a woman hoping to conceive her 7th+ child through IVF who’s currently on disability, living with a parent, on state aid, etc.

Again, who knows the facts? I wonder if any lawyers could comment on how HIPAA would protect her if she should decide to have her doctor stay completely silent on the facts of this case.

I was wondering if she’d just never done a FET before? Maybe all her previous cycles were fresh IVF cycles. And maybe that’s why she had so many embryos to transfer. It’s hard for me to fathom 6 cycles transferring 6 each cycle and still having so many remaining.

Good point, Elizabeth. I thought of that. That could be the case.
