Why would you so convinced that the family, and by that I do mean the other kids, would have to look after them? I would fully expect this woman to live at least until the kids are of the age of majority. And the alternative to her not having these children is for them not to exist at all. Given the choice, I imagine most people would choose life over non-existence.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this. I don't want it getting ugly in the car park later...
