"Breed like rabbits"?! "You and me baby are nothing but mammals,
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel"...Really, there's
no need for such a sacrifice because a) the Singularity, and/or total
destruction, will be upon us well before any breeding programs would
start to have a noticeable effect, b) smart kids are sometimes born
to stupid or mediocre parents (and vice versa) and c) overpopulation
is a real problem, because people tend to huddle together in the best
spots, while leaving the rest virtually uninhabited.
