because three posts on the subject is clearly not enough

Say your single daughter in her early twenties wants a kid but couldn't conceive one without help even if she had a partner. Would you support her getting in vitro fertilization using donor sperm?

What if after the first one, she wanted another. And another. And another. And so forth. Does there come a point when you say "enough is enough"? Do you fully support her whatever she chooses, or do you try to talk her out of it?

Do you continue to try to help her and make the best of the situation for the good of the kids even if you disapprove of your daughter's choices? Is there a limit to how much you will help? Is there a point where you say "you made this mess, you're on your own, kiddo." How many off her offspring will you babysit while she is in the hospital having the next one? Is there a point where you would just walk away and cut your daughter and her brood out of your life because you just couldn't take it any longer?

What about when she decides she wants to have all the remaining embryos implanted at once to give them at least a chance at life and so ends up with eight?
