Octuplets Turn Ten!


This past Saturday, (yesterday) the Udobi family celebrated the birthday of their eight children. The former Nigerian parents, who now reside in Houston, got stuck with the whopping eight by using fertility drugs. HNN apologizes for not listing names of the children, we just don't have the time to type Nigerian names we can't pronounce, nor care to know. Of the eight children, only seven are still living. The eighth baby, who no longer has a soul, is kept in a glass jar which travels with the family... everywhere they go. When it was time to blow out the birthday candles, it was the dead fetus' honor to "blow" out the flames. It was an amazing day, the kids celebrated by having a hotel party, and popping as many bottles of champagne as possible.

If this story was inspiring to you, maybe you should try some fertility drugs that will leave you with 9 zygotes in your body. Personally, I couldn't deal with it. I would probably leave behind, or forget at least two children per day, causing them to suffer.--But thats just me.

Love the article! I hope that mother doesn't plan on using her uterus any time soon.

Or ever again.
