Well, the 16 thing is impressive.
But if you follow my family tree back along a certain path, nearly everyone in it and their kids and often spouses have a name that starts with J. :O

Is that many kids really necessary? I mean REALLY?!
We're already overpopulating the planet.

yeah, i'm not sure if i agree with having that many kids. If you wanted to look at the moter psycholgically i woudl say she almost has a problem. Of course that's just a possible reason for it. Maybe they are still firm believer's that due to their faith condoms shouldn't be used......or maybe they just like to have kids.....lots of them

not to be gross but....At what point does giving birth just become no big deal? Like those things must just be slipping out of there by now.

I'm sure she thinks it is wrong for people to not have children and deprive souls of having a chance at life. She thinks she is doing her part. If they can take care of them, I see no problem with it. The only time I have a problem with it is when people do that and leave them to the state.
But wow..I can't even imagine that. I can't imagine it because what sort of relationship could you have with your parents, with your other siblings?
I have neighbors that are on about 14. They're not done yet either.

The Earth's resources can't support billions of child-bearing-age people doing this kind of thing. :\

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. If they can support their kids then all the power to them.

um...actually countries with wealth don't contribute to the over population of the world. the poorer countries do. interesting little factoid.

I was actually just thinking that...like it can't be too bad anymore...
Also, if I could afford to have 16 kids, I'd probably adopt a few. Plenty of kids out there who need a good home with loving parents.

what, so we should go ahead and catch up on overpopulation too?

Its ONE family though. When people react like this to a single family having pleanty of kids, you know that our population isn't in jeopardy.
Its just north american culture anyway. In a lot of other cultures 16 kids would be normal. Its just not average here.
And yeah, I suspect that this family is against birth control.
If not against, then perhaps immune?
