Why do people do this?
Michelle Duggar, 41, from Arkansas is pregnant with her 18th child! I don't know why people would do something like this. It seems so selfish and something just doesn't feel right about this situation. The world is already over-populated, why don't they just adopt. I guess it's really their prerogative to have so many children especially because they are not on welfare--so you can't really even get angry with them for being irresponsible. But something about it makes me feel uneasy about them. How can they properly care for each child? Read the rest of the article.
From some comments that I've read on another site that I agree with:
She must not wear tampons anymore.
"At least he has only one wife."
"Other than the woman made to be a baby factory, another tragedy is her hair."
Seth and I were just talking about this. At her age, the odds are about 1 in 50 that she'll have a baby with downs syndrome. ...I know it's terrible to say, but we assume that when that scenario comes to fruition...she'll stop having them. It's dangerous to have babies when you're over 40.

Yeah, I was actually surprised that none of her children have any health problems. I thought at least one would have down syndrome or would be mentally retarded. I know, it's terrible to say, but it happens. And I can't believe her odds were so good so far.
