Adopted Children Granted Same Rights of Inheritance as Biological Children

The Knesset passed an amendment to section 16 of the Inheritance Law- 1965 equating adopted children to biological children by granting adopted children the right to inherit from their adoptive parents' relatives and granting the adoptive parents' relatives the right to inherit from the adopted child.

One interesting thing in the law (not as a result of the amendment) is that adopted children can inherit from both their biological and adoptive parents. Should adopted children be limited to inheriting from only one set of parents?

Note- This law only sets up the default inheritance rules but if someone wrote a valid will, that would control. There is nothing that would prevent a child from inheriting from 3 sets of parents via 3 separate wills.
