It's the little things that stick...Like the fact that no one believed that it was actually even possible for a human to become youki, that Hakkai's change was legend. And how many half-breeds are really out there? And even if Goku wears a limiter, he's not human, OR youki.
Alright, maybe these aren't little things, but they're things so big that I think they get over looked.
'Cause really, what's the average lifespan of a human-turned-youki? We tend to just assume a natural life span, but who's to say the supernatural element of their change wouldn't make them something completely other. The same can be said for Goku. Look how little he aged in 500 years. Unless he's killed, how long do you think he'd live?
And what of the potential medical issues that arise when you mix two different species? So he's sterile. There's a start. But what of other issues that might manifest as he grows older. We forget, I think, how young these boys are. 22, 23. I mean, I'm older. (shut up, 24 is OLD :-P)
Most importantly, we must remember that for all his super-sanzo power, Sanzo, is simply human. Even if he makes it through this whole mess, he's got, what? another 60 years tops. Compared to some of the others running around, that nothing.
I think the question becomes, what if Hakkai is around in several thousand years? He's around and he's the only one.
