Are Science and Common Sense Clashing?

Last night I watched on Fox News the Huckabee Show, and two of the guests were Charmaine Yoest the President of Americans United for Life, and a Dr. who was Pro Choice. (sorry I forgot his name this morning) These two guests were discussing the "Octomom" who through invirtro carried 8 babies and already had 6 children at home. They mentioned that 3 of her 6 previous kids already had disabilities, that she lived with her parents, collected from the state, had no father figure available for any of these children, and that this woman was obviously troubled from what they could see in the interviews they watched of her.

I was really disappointed that Charmaine was not able to touch more on the important topics such as:

1. These Dr. are operating as self-regulated with no laws preventing them from what they are doing. The need to have public policy stating what is ethical for Dr. to perform.
2. Are these Dr. doing harm to the patient by implanting 8 embryos?
3. Once the embryos are implanted, down the road the Dr. decides that the woman can not handle this many babies and then needs to "Selectively Reduce" the number. ABORT some of the children.
4. Her biblical interpretation on invitro in the first place.

Needless to say I did not hear a whole lot of anything I have not already? Once again I was let down my main stream media, talking around the truth.
