Dr Kamrava, the fertility doctor who implanted all the embryos into the now infamous Nadya Suleman and other patients has lost his licence to practice to practice medicine. The move is a badly needed gesture to 'protect the public'. From what is the Medical Board of California protecting the public from? Let us have a list. Suleman had 12 embryos implanted into her before the eight embryos that splashed her into the headlines. That's six times the normal number for a woman her age. That's gross negligence. Then there's the other two patients not splashed all over the papers like Japan's big wave last March. One was a 42-year-old who was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer after receiving fertility treatment. Then another was a 48-year-old who suffered serious complications after she became pregnant with quadruplets.

Welcome to the American dream where you can do bad things for a long time before getting a slap on the wrist.

The law moves ponderously like a three toed sloth on the highway. ~ Doctors cover for each other. Many patients will cover for the doctors that gave them babies through dubious means as well. ~ The Medical Board had to shuffle past the delicate just-to-the-point-of-illegal obstruction of other for-profit fertility medical personnel to find the evidence that would allow them to pluck that licence.

Such actions give people faith in the regulating bodies. It is one thing to implant one or two embryos but to plant multiple embryos and then leave them to mature just so someone can set a new record is wrong.

No kidding. What stinks is that this bunch of kids will have to suffer in order to set the president and teach adults lessons in right and wrong.
