Pretty damn important, so important that it shouldn't be determined by humans who gets to breed and who doesn't, because that will NEVER work out the way you may think it should.

And yes, breeders is an offensive and dehumanizing term. Swift used the term "breeders" as an intentionally dehumanizing term in "A Modest Proposal" to determine those females who could produce non-productive stock. He was, of course, kidding. You weren't.

So, tell me. Who gets to decide who reproduces and who doesn't? You? What are your ideal criteria?
