"If someone came in and wanted to transfer six embryos...we have an obligation to protect the patient and not let [them] do things that are unreasonable." - Dr. Daniel Potter, director of the Huntington Reproductive Center

This quote shows that if the government set actual laws and regulations in I.V.F., doctors would HAVE to do what is best for the patient. Because there are currently only guidelines rather than tight regulations, doctors have more opportunities to avoid their ethical obligation to watch out for the patient's health, despite their requests.

"It is healthier to implant only one embryo, even if it means the process has to be repeated because of the risks of multiple births." - Stephanie Saul, New York Times. This statement reflects the 2008 I.V.F. guidelines from the government

"Doctors are selling a product and their patients are so vulnerable." - Peggy Orenstein, New York Times. Peggy went through the I.V.F. process, and can relate to the desperation that comes along with trying to get pregnant. She relatest to that vulnerability and understands that doctors could easily use it to their advantage.

"I find it a huge ethical failure that she was even accepted as a patient." - Dr. Caplan, bioethicist from UPenn. Dr. Caplan discusses how Suleman already had six children and couldn't handle the costs of 14 children.

"No laws restrict the number of embryos that can be placed in a mother's womb, but fertility doctors generally abide by guidelines." - Randal C. Archibold, New York Times. This quote is evidence of the simple lack of structure in the I.V.F. world. The word "generally" is also used. This means that there are some doctors who do NOT follow the guidelines. Dr. Michael Kamrava, who implanted six embryos in Nadya Suleman, is just one example.

"This newly hatched technology is nto just a branch of medicine; it's a market tand ought to be treated as such." - Peggy Orenstein, NYT. This point comes from a book "The Baby Business" by Debora Spar. It serves as evidence that with the current loose regulations, patients cannot let their guard down to vulnerability. If tighter restrictions were made, the market wouldn't be so business-like; patients would not have to be so worried about being conned.
