No, as people with Klinefelter's syndrome cannot have children and so there would not be another generation. (That is not entirely true, while it is true Klinefelters causes an extra chromosome sperm maybe be found via a testicular extraction in minute amounts. If this is the case you can father a biological child though the chances are small it is not impossible and more and more Klinefelter men are becoming dads. We can also adopt, and while I understand the authors point - the child would be ours and therefore carry our name and continue the generation. Klinefelters IS NOT hereditary. Hope this helped.
