You're creating a false dichotomy when there are many factors that contribute to the sustainability of a species, not just strictly reproduction.
A very small percentage of drugs cause birth defects. Most drugs don't affect DNA at all. They create inhibitory or excitatory electro-chemical responses in your brain which alters your body's chemistry; but not your actual DNA.
I know it is not only reproduction but that is key to thesurvival of any species.
You are likely right about some medicines not reaching theDNA. Some may not have to, to do their job but when you are talking aboutaltering the body chemistry then I would think that most drugs go into our DNA.
From what I have seen of modern medicine, it looks like theywill be targeting the DNA much more in the future.
