Egyptian woman gives birth to 7 babies, septuplets. If you had septuplets, would you have an abortion?


An Egyptian woman gave birth to 7 babies, septuplets, in a hospital in Alexandria. The woman, 27 year old, Ghazala Khamis, had a ceasarian operation to safely remove the babies: four boys and three girls. Both the babies and the mother are in good condition and are still at the hospital.

A woman who has septuplets is a very rare medical occurence. The coule told AP they considered abortion, but since it is religiously forbidden by Islam, they decided to go ahead and try to have the 7 babies.

The couple said they received a call from Egypyt's minister of health, who awarded them with free milk and diapers for the first 2 years of the children's lives.

I WOULD NEVER DELIBERATELY END SEVEN LIVES, IF IT WAS LIFE THREATENING I WOULD BE FORCED THOUGH. NOT THAT I'M EVER HAVING CHILDREN OF COURSE, CANT STAND THEM BUT WOULD NEVER WANT THEM TO COME TO ANY HARM

With a sickening, animalistic view such as yours, it's a damn shame your mother didn't have an abortion. The world would be a better place without you.

Rent it? I BOUGHT IT. Great, dumb but funny film that makes you think. Not many movies can do that.

There are just too many people on this planet... If we don't slow down population growth, then our children will do the job of depopulation by fighting harder and harder over scarce resources and land.

Though I know I wouldn't get passed the baseboards, I would be attempting to climb the walls in my house while my 7 babies are playing.

With that many fetuses, the chances are that ALL will have a greater chance of dying. Best to cull the litter early on.

No, never. Not for kooky far right religious reasons. I think one needs to make their moral decisions based on their own enlightened moral principles and not what they think might happen to themselves after they die but no.
