(b) I don't think docs have any right to force a mother to terminate any fetuses even if the number is that high. They probably have a duty to advise of the health risks but can't do anything more.
So what you're saying is when she decided to have more, and the doc told her there were 7*, she said "Jackpot"?

*Hy, Ti!
