Medicine cat questions

Technically, that rule could be contradicted because they would still value the lives of their kit more, even if it’s unintentional. Still, they technically wouldn’t be breaking the code since they already had kits before becoming a medicine cat.

While this is true there are some flaws. Isn't there a chance Leafpool would favor Squirrelflight? Or Jayfeather would favor Lionblaze and Dovewing? These cats have family members other than kits which they could put before the Clan. This makes the rule about no kits pointless, because even if Leafpool didn't have kits there's a chance she'd favor Squirrelflight, or Firestar, or Sandstorm, as they too are her kin.

I disagree and personally see Coldamber as the one responsible for her circumstances. Coldamber had the opportunity to reject the position or resign, so she made the decision to disown her family.
