Legitimate fertility MDs (you know the ones who do operate on a very high ethical and moral code?) don't do these sort of IVF procedures. Legitimate women (who just want to have a child) don't go and ask to be implanted w/ 8 embryoes.

This type of thing is NOT the norm. It's a huge health risk for any woman to carry multiples. Even if those multiples are twins or triplets, and are naturally conceived. THUS...fertility doctors are hesitant to implant more than 2 or 3.

Of course, I would expect no different thinking from you.

Nadya Suleman would be crazy whether she had one child or 10! That's the other thing, most fertility doctors do some basic psych screening to make sure that the woman and/or couple are good candidates for the procedure--and all that comes with it.
