Is having octuplets ethical? Yes!

Many of you may have seen or read about the woman who just had octuplets. For those of you who don't know, that is eight, yes eight, babies at once! Wow! After having two inside of me at once I can't even begin to imagine how uncomfortable that woman must have been! Okay, back to my point. I have been watching and reading how people think that she was being unethical by having that many babies at one time. She received advice (pre and post birth) to terminate, i.e. kill, most of her babies. There was a doctor from San Diego on Good Morning America today who said that they used to encourage women who had 4 babies to abort 1 of them, now they encourage women who have 3 or 2 babies to bring them down. I can't even imagine how upset I would have been if my doctor had encouraged me to kill one of my girls! I can't imagine my life without them. I would have ended up switching doctors, that is for sure. So, anyway...I find it appalling that in our society today there is no problem or concerns with aborting your babies but there is a problem with having them. If this woman had decided to abort all of those babies there would never have been the question of if she was ethical or not, but because her beliefs led her to have all of the babies she is called in to question? The scriptures tell us that in the last days good shall be evil and evil shall be good. This is a perfect example of that. I believe that we have a right to make our own choices, but I also believe that there are consequences that go with all choices, whether good or bad, and we can't choose the consequences. Getting pregnant is a consequence (again it could be a good or bad consequence) and I believe that we should have to deal with those consequences. In our world today we have made it so that 'dealing' with that consequence can mean getting rid of the consequence. I strongly believe that there will be additional consequences to that choice. It makes me sad to see us, as a society, going down this path. This woman's children will have a greater risk of having some health and or mental issues. This is a sad thing to happen, but there are a lot of families who have children with these issues and the family does not love the child any less nor is the child's life worth any less. I am sad for people who have to face these challenges and I am not diminishing their difficulties when I say this next statement. I believe that it is better to have a spirit brought down to this earth into a body that is physically or mentally challenged than to not have that spirit come down at all.
