Meh. I plan to reproduce because I have awesome, awesome gifts to pass on, both genetic and otherwise. (Humility among them.)
Seriously, though, anyone's got a right to reproduce. Because it's a dice roll. Just because two people are awesome doesn't mean their offspring won't be stupid assholes. And just because two people are mouth-breathing, illiterate, possum-rapers doesn't mean their kids couldn't be brilliant, graceful, and loving. Genetics and enivironment both play their important parts in shaping us, but both are still in large measure subject to our own choices. That's just the way it goes, dude.
