People have a hard enough time caring about humans suffering and dying on the other side of the world. Trying to get them to worry about humans that don't currently exist is a total lost cause.

- saganus 7y agoIn my experience, most people don't even care about their own future, i.e. retirement and such, and instead buy cars and other stuff that they can't afford, because short term satisfaction is more compelling than long term one. So while I agree with you that I care about ny children and grand-children, I don't see this as being a mainstream thought.
