What are Octuplets?

Octuplets are, as it suggests, eight offspring of a single pregnancy. This is not unusual in the world of animals at all, and there are many records of dogs, rats, shrews, mice and naked mole rats that can have so many children at the same time. There is no record of a natural concept that would result in creating eight children. Generally, the only way to produce octuplets is to implant a series of fertilized eggs into the uterus, and where at least eight of them implants into the wall of the uterus and survives until birth. This scenario is very rare. Several other groups were born, but some of the children were born dead or did not live for more than a few days. In 2009, Nadya Suleman changed it and became the mother of eight children at once who had grown and prospered against chances.

There are many people who criticize Suleman and her doctor for her choice to implant so much fertilized eggs at once. From a simple health point of view, there are strong risks for mother and fruits. AttemptThe transport of these many children at the same time represents a huge potential for complications. Necessary, almost all higher orders several births end premature, with infants usually weigh less than a pound. In this weakened and vulnerable condition, the lungs are not developed properly, congenital defects are twice as likely and the risk of infection can be great.

The risk applies to any mother Octuplets. The human uterus was not built to carry so many children at the same time. There is a good reason why most children are free, twins or triplets. The uterus is distinguished and there is a risk of rupture or serious complications during and after work. Although some women are lucky to survive it without any problems, not all yes, and some people believe that Thpublicity concerning the birth of a higher order, such as Suleman's octuts, minimizes the potential danger to mother and children.

In fact, in many clinical environments of fertility, when the fertilized implantation inAJEC, most women who find themselves pregnant with octuplets should be defeated to obtain selective abortions. For many women, such a council is disgusting, yet it is a difficult decision, because the immense fruits could lead to the loss of all of them. There are many ethical discussions on the suitability of implantation of more fertilizers than a woman could naturally carry, and there are few conclusions about a specific number of eggs that seem ethically appropriate. This is thoroughly illustrated by the example of Suleman.
