Who would take money to do such a thing?

A single mother of six was given fertility treatments to have more children? And not just drugs to release extra eggs, but actual insertion of fertilized embryos? At least eight of them?

Apparently, all those years of medical school left someone lacking in common sense and possibly desperate to pay off school debts. I have a hard time imagining what kind of rational person would help a woman have higher-order multiples when she is already raising a fairly large family with only her parents to help.
