The patient, who is in her late 40s, wanted one baby. Dr. Michael Kamrava transferred at least seven embryos to her. She is now hospitalized without insurance.

A few months after Dr. Michael Kamrava helped Nadya Suleman become pregnant with octuplets, he transferred at least seven embryos to another patient.

She was in her late 40s and wanted just one baby.

Now she's five months pregnant with quadruplets and hospitalized at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, according to several sources familiar with the situation.

The new case could add to concerns about Kamrava's practice and about whether the fertility industry needs more regulation.

The woman has three grown children from a previous marriage but wanted another child with her second husband, who is in his early 30s and doesn't have any children, sources said. She works as an apartment manager; her husband is a contractor.

She started fertility treatments seeking one baby, but after becoming pregnant with quadruplets, declined medical advice to reduce the number of fetuses, the sources said.

The good doctor, having done the implanting, should be responsible financially for the care of the offspring.

It’s a good thing CA has plenty of money to pay for all this extravagant medical care when this nutcase doctor impregnates welfare mothers with their litters.
In the immortal words of that Democrat icon, Jocelyn Elders,”It’s for the churdrun.”

This jerk should be billed the total cost of the Octotots. The prosecutor should SUE his sorry arse for every single dime he’s costing the taxpayers and make him pay child support.

At least she didn't abort any of them.

I’m sure that he has his patients sign a release and also they probably have to sign a promise to “reduce the number of fetuses” prior to birth. So the mom can either kill her children or just suck it up and deal with it. Evil.

One bright spot, I agree. I’m not sure why anyone would intentionally have a baby (especially after having at least one) without any medical insurance. Babies are expensive, especially if you have to come out of pocket for medical care.

They shouldn’t just take all his assets and send him to jail after revoking his medical license, they should hang him.

Should this be done in EVERY case of IVF?

Yes definitely. We need a government agency to decide who can and cannot have children.

You must be joking.

People have been having babies for a long time, irrespective of the state or availablity of medical treatment and the means and mechanisms to pay for it.

It's all in the name of reproductive freedom. I know it is sad for some, but maybe these people should just realize they can't procreate and live with it. A Pandora's box has been opened.
