Octuplets...

Octuplets, should the government do something about it?

No, i think the government shouldn't’t do anything about it; because you as a parent should have the right to decide the number of children you want to have and whether or not you have the responsibilities to look after them.
Questions like can I afford the delivery charges, food, maintenance, childcare and education must first be considered; only then you can determine the number of children you want to bring up in this world.
The burden of expenses still lie heavily on the parents. So if are wealthy, having octuplets is possible and you can provide them all with an education and fair childhood; but if you are poor, having octuplets will only bring misery and despair to you and your eight children.
