I agree. But she did not do that.
When the embryos were created, she was married and had no children yet. She had trouble getting pregnant, so her and her husband used the services of a fertility clinic so that they could have kids.
The way fertility clinics work is they create a dozen or more embryos and implant them several at a time until one (or several) takes. In her case, she got pregnant the very first time, so there were leftover embryos, which of course the fertility clinic froze for possible future use, as opposed to discarding/killing them.
After having the first couple of kids, she got divorced. But since she is pro-life, she felt responsible to use up the rest of the embryos instead of having them discarded (or "killed" according to her viewpoint).
So a couple of years ago, she was implanted with some of them and managed to have quadruplets. This time she used up the remaining ones and had 8 more kids.
Now that you know the whole story, what is your opinion? Should she have had the kids or had the fertility clinic discard the remaining embryos?
