I'd ban the rich from procreating before that happens.
The warrior caste's eugenics program is a completely alien means of
reproduction.
It seems cold and analytical, making no allowance for the passion and
love we consider necessary to a full life.
Warriors, however, gain great comfort and strength from their sense of
belonging to the sibko, and from their unbroken lineage to Kerensky's 800.
Each warrior's lineage is recorded in his codex, a copy of which is
electronically stored in a band worn on his right forearm.
A warrior's career, from his first sibko test to his dying oath,
is recorded by the codex and analyzed by his Clan.
If a warrior's deeds are judged worthy, his genetic material helps create the next generation.
Failure means the termination of his or her line.
It is little wonder that the drive to excel overshadows all other
considerations.
