'Octomum' doctor implanted 12 embryos

BioNews - 'Octomum' doctor implanted 12 embryos: Evidence put before the Medical Board of California, the state licensing body, revealed how medical records at the time indicated Dr Kamrava had transferred 12 embryos in providing IVF (in vitro fertilisation) to Nadya Suleman. On questioning, Dr Kamrava apologised saying Ms Suleman had insisted on this number and had consented to fetal reduction if it became necessary. He told the hearing he had been 'apprehensive' but had decided to go along with his patient's wishes after advising her of the risks involved. The disclosure contradicts Ms Suleman's earlier assertions that only six embryos were implanted, two of which split leading to eight children born in January 2009.
