If Earth was Beyond Hope and a New Home was found..

[RandyS]

I shouldn't say so, Randy. In my experience people with disadvantages in one sector have huge talents in another. For example, I am extremely shortsighted but I have an unusually acute sense of hearing and an almost photographic memory for places and routes.
A colleague of mine who was born deaf can identify each of us 140 co-workers in a dark corridor by the vibrations our respective ways of walking cause. He's also one of our 3 IT specialists and can tell by the vibration pattern if a server is working properly or not. It's most impressive.
Or look at Stephen Hawking - unable to walk but one of the smartest brains in the solar system. Or Thomas Quasthoff, one of Germany's greatest (no pun intended)classical singers.
I bet you, too, can do a lot of things others can't.

Sure there are some things I can do that others can't, but in the spirit of the thread, I was thinking specifically about reproduction. A new world would need healthy young people to carry on the species, yes? And with my disability, this is one area where I would be useless.

no offense, but that's a widespread male misconception (no pun intended). The most attractive part or a man aren't his reproductional organs but his brains. Leave passing on genes to others and pass on ideas, knowledge and wisdom. Anyone can copulate but only few can advise.
