  Once a neutroid reached its age-set, it remained at that developmental level until death (sick experiments).  It's a 'mental deviant' and he was afraid of those (compared to physical?) Why are females disposed of automatically? (China birth law) Apparently he had done this multiple times, but who knows how many. Why is story told from Norris' POV? Not delmont? If they break the rule, compulsory divorce and sterilization.
context: They were such cute synthetic creatures, it was impossible not to love them. If I don't want to follow my aptitudes, the only choice is common labor. With its population legally fixed at three hundred million, most of the country had become one big suburb, dotted with community centers and lined with narrow belts of industrial development. A class-C couple, allowed no children of their own, could get quite attached to a cat-Q-5. The felines were emotionally safer than the quasi-human chimp-K series called "neutroids."

And there were only eleven empty neutroid cages in his kennel. They should be able to give him a list of all July's Bermuda K-99 serial numbers that had entered his territory, together with the retailers to whom the animals had been sold. Of course, no hospital would play along with her fantasy and take a neutroid, especially since she couldn't pay for its treatment." You're welcome to it, Doctor, but you can't fake a serial number. Only thirty-five of July's Bermuda-K-99s had entered his territory, and they were about equally divided among five pet shops, three of which were in Wylo City.
