Professional Group Expels Octomom Doc

Reproductive medicine society says Kamrava was out of line

Share

(Newser) – Michael Kamrava, the fertility doctor who twice implanted six embryos into octomom Nadya Suleman (two embryos reportedly split into twins), has been kicked out of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. The society recommends no more than two embryos for women under 35, to reduce the risk of multiple births; Kamrava implants an average of 4.1 embryos into his under-35 patients. The expulsion is significant because some insurers will only cover procedures performed by ASRM members, USA Today reports.

@ Wonka, you beat me to it. That clown does look like Dr Evil but even less intelligent? Strange, he needs his a$$ kicked for doing what he did....I can understand his looks now that I am thinking about it, he saw a part of her few men have seen and if they did take a pick they would never be normal again.
