Yes, just let the gene line die who cares we're not that special, humanity won't mourn our loss. That's all part of the brainwashing, like you have to have kids because your parents and grandparents did? Of course not, live life as you see fit doesn't matter that your ancestors chose what was best for them.
Thinking ones genes are so irreplacable is so incredibly narcissistic. Like, the world couldn't possibly become a great place without specifically MY genes.
My genes don't fucking matter.
And if we're thinking in evolutionary time, evolution as we know it is already over. Designer babies likely already exist. Genetic engineering is the biggest thing since sex.
