...Suleman was already a mom, six times over. So the first wave of anger was aimed at her doctor, for implanting so many embryos in a woman who was already anything but childless. She says she used the same doctor, but in an interview Sunday with RadarOnline.com, Suleman's mother Angela, a retired teacher, said she and her husband pleaded with Nadya's doctor not to help her get pregnant again - so Nadya went and found a new one, who implanted six more embryos (two split and became twins). The California Medical Board is reportly investigating whether there...
Politicians may enter the debate as well. California state senator Sam Aanestad, a Republican, says the legislature should not be in the business of setting the standard of care in medicine, preferring that it be left to the doctors with legislative oversight - unless taxpayers' money is involved. "If it's all private funding, then that's between the mother and her doctor and whoever is paying for it," says Aanestad.

...husband during part of this time. Psychiatric evaluations of Suleman portray a well-mannered but very depressed and anxious woman who reported severe lower-back pain, which limited her ability to pick up her 15-lb. baby without first sitting down.

The law is part of the legacy of the 1996 Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, which included a landmark exemption for parents who do not seek medical care for their children for religious purposes. While all states give social service authorities...
...western end of the Luneta, Manila's crescent-shaped, scraggly public green, a cluster of life-size bronze sculptures of Rizal and the firing squad that gunned him down marks the spot where the doctor, now a national hero, was executed in 1896. A vulgar, nightly sound-and-light show dramatizes the moment. But far more unnerving, in a city where it's hardly unusual to see children sleeping in cemeteries, is the pomp on display at the 97-year-old Manila Hotel, a 10-minute stroll toward Manila Bay. In the third Rosales novel, My Brother, My Executioner...
