Your role in your lineage

So you have 2 uncles who also failed to reproduce? And your father only got 1? I wouldn't feel TOO guilty.

Hm I think I might have 1 little cousin, but we don't see him that often. It might actually be a girl.
So beside that it's just my brother and me.

Only on my father's side. I have a large family, but all the family comes from my mother's side, so it's irrelevant to the point of carrying on "my family name", so I just didn't mention it.

Either way it's not a big deal. It isn't like you're killing off an ancestral line of organisms that dates back to some microbe that crawled out of the primordial ooze.

SEE! SEE!
