>>5296621hmm, well okay, though again, even if we were to take into account there being in your universe a universal rule that, "genetic manipulation inherently lowers fertility in recipients" then it's still is that alot of the possible treatments which i mentioned here already are things which straight up don't interact with genetics, or are only adjacent to genetic manipulation. like how mother stem cell treatment (aka taking stem cells from a growing embryo which can either be from the same person it is going to be used on later, or a bunch grown from a singular cell which had its DNA replaced with recipient DNA before growth) is just taking stem cells grown from an early version of you and having been used to be injected into your older self so that they can intergrate into your body as newer parts of where they were added to. it not having inherently changed any part of your DNA.
also, why can't leaders just freeze their own egg cells/sperm cells and then grow/be impregnated with them later on, making it such that one could augment oneself as much as possible since fertility would only be a problem if those storages got destroyed(and even if fertility also counted in the ability of a person to bear the child within them afterwards, then that is where jobs like surrogate mothers exist, those who take the implanted seed of a man and egg of a woman and gestate the child for them instead)
i of course don't expect you to message back here right after i send this message, it's just as to also have these things in mind when you then do come here with a more thorough explanation. which, while we don't necessarily "require" one, having a good reason is always something which makes everyone happier in general.
