I have to say, this makes me think of nothing so much as those cat-hoarders who end up endangering all their cats. And that's just not an image I want for babies. ya know?
You have hit the nail right on the head! "Human cat lady" probably sums it up. The irresponsibility of both the mother and the doctor are both pretty horrifying, since (1) all the children, both new and old, are going to suffer for it a variety of ways, and (2) society as a whole is going to have to pay for it, too.
