Hi,

Well, western people have decided to change children by money and
success. Instead of kids most chose to have pets. All of this has
been the result of the selfish attitude of the past generations. The
generations of the "me" and only "me".

Following that path it is hard to see if there will be any
westerners alive some centuries from now.

Perhaps the only hope to save at least the phenotype of the
Europeans is by using genetical engineering.

Families are the core of civilizations. Destroy them and you destroy
civilization. The west has commited suicide because it kills the
concept of family long ago. Is that simple.
