Yep, removing their genes from the future generations. Worth it I guess. The people that built the modern world voluntarily phase themselves out.

- nine_k 6y agoNot necessarily removing, but making them more rare. A modern woman may have one or two children, but for going above the replacement rate, a number of them should have at least three. This quickly becomes a full-time job.
- jojobas 6y agoAnything below replacement is removal, even if gradual or slow.
- Retric 6y agoOnly on very long timescales, looking at worldwide fertility rates over just the last 100 years shows how dramatically this can change. Further, if the male vs female reproduction rate for a slice of the population is vastly different, the number of genetic grandchildren may be above replacement rate even if their children are at or below replacement rate.
