megablast, you might have missed the possibility that it allows the octomom to not die immediately after tending the eggs.

Sure, lets disable animals for your amusement.

I suppose it's true that spaying and neutering is technically disabling an animal. I guess not having pets would be the best solution for people who consider spay/neuter harmful. But for people who are okay with the idea of pets, and who do not wish to breed their pets, many find the control of breeding instincts and behavior helpful, not to mention the long term health benefits for the pets.
