Not that some people can't get pretty fanatical about "for the children" but there does come a point when it gets ridiculous enough most people stop buying into it. "How can you condemn thousands of generations of your descendants to have you as ancestors, instead of the clearly better ones they could have had if you had just refrained from breeding". I can't see most societies as actually being reluctant to *permit* a generation ship. As long as you are wasting your money and future on it and not mine, go ahead.
