I'm strongly supportive of that. Right. But I'm a pro life guy. I always have been. Don't apologize for it. And I think that the world needs kids. The world needs families. The world is going through a population decline right now, which, as others, including Elon Musk pointed out, is actually very dangerous for society. We're going to topple over. We don't have enough people to support all of the retirees and the folks that are older, and we don't want to lose all the progress that we've made in civilization because we haven't invested in the next generation.
