PROOF THAT NOT EVERYONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BREED

A US couple who have 14 children with names all beginning with J, are expecting a 15th child.

Michelle Dugger and husband Jim Bob say the new arrival will also have a first name beginning with J - Jackson.

They said they never intended to bring up such a large family, says Sky News Online.

Michelle told CBS: "I don't think it was our intention when we first married but I think we realised children are a gift."

So far the couple have Jana, John, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joanna, Jedadiah, Jeremia, Jason, James and Justin.

The deeply-religious southern Baptist family is schooled at home and sew their own clothes to cut down costs.

"The older child gets to become the teacher and it seems like you learn so much more ... than when you're just the student," Michelle said.

And the new baby may not be the last. "I would like more. I guess we'll have to wait and see," she said.
