I've always had a problem with the concept of someone being punished for something out of their control. It was probably the biggest problem I had with the Eden story. I don't know where this idea came from, except to manipulate people who cared about their kids. Don't step out of line, or we'll make your kid and grandkid suffer.
If you can get people to believe it, it would be a serious deterrent. Also really fucked up.
