This is from India. Chances are very good that the entire story top to bottom is a rent-seeking fraud. Their entire culture revolves around these kinds of schemes.

I don’t... even...

What did I just read? Why do this and torture your children with an early and expected death of their parents?

Even if they do survive, they’ll be putting-up with teenagers in their 90’s.

Well, technically the parents, or at least definitely the mom, is someone other than the delivery woman.

I worked with a dude that had twins. He nicknamed them Seek and Destroy. Said their mischief fed off each other. He was in his thirties and these two exhausted him and his wife

I'm reminded of the little animated cub bear in the Charmin toilet paper commercial: "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

It would be nice if people could exhibit the same intelligence.

I don’t know - are IVF egg donors identifiable the same way as parents of adoptees?

You got that right. My 2nd job revolves around answering tech calls. Many of the callers are Indian. They are some of the most belligerent people imaginable.
