"Who am I to say that six is the limit?" said Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg, medical director of Fertility Institutes, which has clinics in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York City. "There are people who like to have big families."
Dr. James Grifo, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the NYU School of Medicine, added: "I don't think it's our job to tell them how many babies they're allowed to have. I am not a policeman for reproduction in the United States. My role is to educate patients."

Really it's a notion on how you should get into someone's life. There should be a license to have kids I think. Granted makeing the rules would be tough. Give me a break 14 kids. unless you are a mulitmillionaire, those kids are going to require public assistance to be raised.

also, she appears to be single, as there is no mention of a husband.
"We have a huge house, not here," said the man, who would only identify himself as Ed. "You are never going to know where it is."
So no, they aren't planning to have 15+ people in a two bedroom house. Nobody gets on the famous families. I really don't care if it's living with the parents if the family is supporting everything and not the public.

But the grandfather warned that media may have a tougher time finding the family after the babies are released from the hospital.

not a big tv watcher.... but didn't those families ask the public for help?

I never heard the TLC families asking for help directly, but I think people may have sent items, provided services, and given money unsolicited because they've become "celebrities."
