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. "But if we find that taxpayer dollars have been used or are going to be used in the medical care of these kids, not just the eight...

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.

A vulgar, nightly sound-and-light show dramatizes the moment.
