happy for you. maybe it was best your gene pool dies out?
Kind of a mean spirited comment, no?
Although your comment was intended to insult me, you happened to touch on one of the several reasons that I chose to not have children: my family's genetic heritage. There are some cases of mental retardation, but most importantly, the medical problems, especially on the male side, stand out.
I can find no instance of any male relative who lived beyond age 70; they all died of stroke or heart attacks. Many suffered from diabetes, too.
I have already had a heart attack and triple by-pass surgery. I am now 65 1/2. What do you think my longevity prospects look like?
No, I wouldn't want to pass these genes on to any poor unsuspecting soul.
