Nadya certainly knew of the new technique Kamrava was using for her IVF -just like Pickles indicated above--she talked all about it and her happy participation in an video interview before her twins were born
Mark my words - her new strategy will be sue - somebody!!! anybody!!

Yes, she DID know she was receiving an experimental procedure/study. She says so (and praises its effectiveness) in a 2006 interview with ABC news at her doctor's office: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/video?id=6649339
She demanded the implantation of 12 fresh embryos using the procedure and then "disappeared" from contact with her doctor in order to avoid honoring her agreement to selectively reduce if the implantation resulted in a high order multiple pregnancy. You don't get reality show fame and fortune with measly twins or triplets, you know?

"Nadya Suleman, dubbed Octomom after giving birth to octuplets in 2009, was implanted with 12 embryos as part of a fertility study exploring a new implantation technique,..."
This is a very misleading statement. You are implying that the transfer of the 12 embryos was some how built into the design of this "study".
The excessive embryo transfer, and Kamrava's sloppy, paper work are separate issues, and separate counts.
Having a fiber optic camera on the end of the transfer catheter did not cause this dangerous octuplet pregnancy.
Suleman's demand to implant the twelve, and Kamrava passing the responsibility buck to "patient rights", was.
This is a despicable story all around and it is a miracle there were no fatalities. But please get the facts straight and sorted out accurately!
