    "However there are many family orientated people and cultures including Asian, African, European and South American that maintain a central focus on past and future generations."

    Future generations ... are you sure of that ?
    Especially in light of the more immediate and practical view ..
    "Families are like potatoes-- the best members are underground."

    Very few descendants are underground .. and if they are it's not relevant for this scenario.

    That's not to say we don't wish the best and try to help our children and grandchildren .. but great grandchildren are hardly recognisable and get in the way of the nurse with the bib. Their futures are for their parents not their parents' parents.
