A bidding war and a row over ethics: how the octuplets story turned sour

Pathos- For a nation enduring its deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression, the tale was a welcome relief from bail-outs and bankruptcies.

Logos- She is single and has no visible means of support for her current family, let alone the additional eight babies that now give her enough offspring to a field a football team with three substitutes.

Ethos- The money seems to be desperately needed. Details of the family's finances suggest that the Sulemans are already struggling with the load of looking after 6 children and are ill-prepared for the arrival of eight more.

Angle of vision - Her parents are divorced and so is she. Lives with her parents

Bias- American hope in facing hard times the 8 children born to Suleman have no way of making it a relief.

Audience- Public reaction has quickly turned from joy to shock and anger.

I am going to write about how peoples reaction changed from birth to now and how all of this came about through IVF. And why she did what she did.
