He and Sue Ellen had been married for quite a few years by the time the show started and obviously no children had arrived. Given how hopeful Jock was for another generation of Ewing's, why do you think J.R. let so many years pass without producing an heir? At one point, Sue Ellen says she's had herself tested and she's asked J.R. to see the doctor but he's pretty firm in his decision not to. Obviously, it's because he was insecure about being the reason that he and Sue Ellen can't have children but how do you think he justified that? Would he have been content to not have children? Would he have eventually warmed to the idea of adoption? I just think it doesn't really fit with his character to not have a game-plan, especially about something so important.</blockquote>
