No, as people with Klinefelter's syndrome cannot have children and so there would not be another generation. (That is not entirely true, while it is true Klinefelters causes an extra chromosome sperm maybe be found via a testicular extraction in minute amounts. If this is the case you can father a biological child though the chances are small it is not impossible and more and more Klinefelter men are becoming dads. We can also adopt, and while I understand the authors point - the child would be ours and therefore carry our name and continue the generation. Klinefelters IS NOT hereditary. Hope this helped.
People with Klinefelter's syndrome are not hermaphrodites, and people who are hermaphrodites do not have Klinefelter's syndrome.
can not be passed from generation to generation
The only genotype to cause Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.

Klinefelter Syndrome is neither recessive or dominant. It is a chormosome disorder, and is thus not passed down from generation to generation. The disorder is a random even that occurs.
Klinefelter's syndrome is not considered to be a variation of normal, so by definition it is abnormal.

No, Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome are the result of nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), while Turner syndrome is due to a missing X chromosome (XO).
