134. I still don't agree, but that's fine.
But you have to admit there's a heck of a difference between your position and the pitchfork brigade nature of the coverage of the story and the people who are calling for her head. That's really the problem I have. I don't have a problem with people who question the ethics of her pursuing more fertility treatments to extent she did (apparently insisting on implanting all the embryos) and the doctors who did it. My biggest beef to is with the double standard. I do think there are questionable ethics involved in some of the other big famous stories from the past. But the media and most everyone seemed to just glow and wanted to do nothing but help in those cases. I think there were questionable decisions that led to those cases, too, but no one cared then. I don't think there really is a huge difference, here. Just because she's single and possibly not quite as financially stable. That's my point and I agree with the OP.
