Interesting Factoids

I need to talk to you for one second about this mom that gave birth to 8 kids. There's a picture of her pregnant belly right now on TMZ and it's so ridiculous I cannot even post it here as I care about you. Let me just say this- wow.

Now this case fascinates me because it brings to light a lot of ethical questions. Is it okay to implant even one embryo when a woman is clearly insane and has 6 kids at home, let alone eight embryos? And going the other way around, who can tell a person whether or not they should/can have kids? If that doctor hadn't done it, she may have found someone who would. Or not, I have no idea. It blows my mind. But what really freaks me out is that I know people who resemble the pregnant picture of the octuplet mom, but they're dudes and their bellies are swollen from beer, not babies.

Factoid of the day! Did you know that a "Beer Belly" is actually caused when a long time drinker's liver starts to fail and circulation and filtration is impaired causing water to collect in the abdominal cavity? Sexy!
