In case you were curious, Ritsuko's phone call with her grandmother was coded talk. Her granma informed her that Kaji died, so when Ritsuko said "So, that cat died...', she meant Kaji. Ritsuko's granma was the woman Kaji talked to in episode 15, about the fake companies Nerv and Seele had.
In the world of Evangelion, the soul and the body can be separated. Even though mankind first found Adam in Antarctica and created a clone, or Eva, it was not possible to copy Adam's soul. In other words, the body called Eva always lacked a soul, which had to be compensated for in order for Eva to work. That's why Shinji's mom is inside.
I think the translation here is very confusing. Thet must say something like this "We found a god who dissapeared 15 years ago, this was Adam. We tried to recreate that god this is the eva". The evas are people, no human beings, they are individuals without souls.
Getting back to Asuka's mom, I don't have the source anymore. But apparently, her mom's case was an experiment after what happened to Yui (losing body and soul to an EVA). So Nerv or Gehirn came up with this plan to see if they could retain the human body and separate the soul. Because a soul is needed to make the EVA move, in synchro with the child. The result was that the part of the mother's love and care (mother's instinct, you could say) was absorbed in the EVA. Everything else was separated. All that remains is a human shell that doesn't recognize her own offspring or even her own life. Quite sad if you think about it. The human retrieval experiment was supposed to work. But Yui already decided to stay in the EVA, which indirectly led to this experiment on Asuka's mom.
Poor Rei, the sad thing is not that she is just a disposable doll, but that she knows it.😢

i've been waiting so long for the next episode.... it's almost time
I'm always impressed by your rather astute observations and reflections.
Rei has a soul, I won't give spoilers but the 3 rei have the same soul unlike the ones Ritsuko killed
