1. In order to fully support your children

   I disagree. In order to fully support your children, taking career into account is essential. That is an unavoidable issue, if you are to have the resources to raise a child in this day and age. If a woman believes that she can be the best mother for her children by having those both at once, what is so wrong with that? She is planning for her future family. I agree that parenthood is nothing to be taken lightly, and it is imperative that a woman realizes that it must take first priority. But you have to consider these other major parts of life.

2. Thoughts on multiples

   In all honesty, I'm in my twenties, married, and wanting children soon. I have wished for multiples. I think having a sibling is such a positive thing for a child to begin with, and since I know I want more than one, the concept of being able to have them at once would work so well for our lifestyle - and contribute to the best raising of them that I can think of. It may come across as a convenience factor, but I just feel this would be the best possible way for us to raise children- take ONE maternity leave- then be able to work out who stays home in alternating (my husband is a nurse so that allows him to choose his schedule). I think a mother has a right to make that decision. If she is in good health and takes care of herself, those risks with multiples can be worked with and lessened. I don't believe that is unethical, either, provided she does the research and understands the great responsibility she is setting herself up for. I also am very supportive of adoption, too, and I have considered this. This is also an alternative. My question is- with so many people that I know taking these fertility drugs- are we going to learn of more serious side effects than what is listed?
