I'll say no
Yes, there's an argument to be made that you can have as many kids as you like. But when you're using them as a simple money-making tool, then something is definitely wrong.

Fair play.
My understanding is that she wasn't looking for fame, rather she wanted loads of kids because she loves them. The odds of producing octuplets are so small she can hardly have expected to end up with fourteen, and has reacted to her moment in the spotlight by putting up a donation button.
I don't know what she thought though, these are vague assumptions. If she set out looking for attention, then I do think something's not right.

I thought the whole fuss about it was that she *wanted* as many kids as possible?
Anyway, there's a difference between putting up a donation button, and hiring a marketing company ;)

Heh, I don't even know enough about it to talk at length.
I don't really care, although I do think the general public response is a little over the top either way.
