  1. The original Spanish is:

    Padre moderno es el dispuesto a sacrificios pecuniarios para que sus hijos no lo prolonguen, ni lo reemplacen, ni lo imiten.

  2. The Spanish is a little snappier than the English, because I translated lo prolonguen as "prolong his life," rather than the more literal "prolong him."
