Lest I repeat myself for the umpteenth time on this issue, I would limit
myself to reiterate that defining a future substitution of "children of the
mind" to "biological children" as an unqualified "doomsday conclusion"
should at least be argumented a little more.

Unless of course we consider the coming of homo sapiens as "doom" or
"extinction" for our pre-sapiens ancestors.
