"LOS ANGELES - The doctor who helped Nadya Suleman get pregnant with octuplets has reportedly transferred at least seven embryos to another patient.
According to the Los Angeles Times , a woman in her late 40s went to Dr. Michael Kamrava hoping to become pregnant with one baby.
The Times now says she is 5-months pregnant with quadruplets and hospitalized. The paper adds that the woman has no insurance so she was transferred to a county hospital where she will stay until the births which might not be for two or three months.
The new case has fueled the controversy over the ethical standards of Kamrava's practice and whether the fertility industry needs more regulation, according to the Times.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine , which has guidelines limiting the number of embryos that can be transferred depending on the woman's age and other circumstances, said it is also examining the doctor's practice. No laws govern this issue." Linky (http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/dpgo_another_octuplets_mom_in_la)
I'm thinking there might be some laws passed in the future.

Well that's an understatement!
I predict an epic debate on this issue though. You're going to have people from both ends of the spectrum weighing in. Everyone from hard right conservatives who don't even believe in assisted reproduction to hard left abortion enthusiasts and everyone in between. It's not going to be pretty. May God have mercy on those poor innocent babies caught in the middle of this debate.
