To be fair, that is only Genn and Darius who will not bite their daughters. Darius is fine with turning other humans into worgen, and other characters can have other opinions.
Yes they are. Bloodfang are Gilnean.
In fact, only a select few of them are kaldorei-worgen, and the majority are Gilneans who joined them over time.
That one CDev said “in theory, since it’s a curse, no”. Which I disagree with, since curses are heritable, and worgen are genetically worgen. After all, naga lay eggs, humans don’t birth vrykul, and orcs have green babies. I could go into that in more detail, but I’ve done so in my questions thread.
This would be neat, similar to The Champions in Skyrim, for the curse to be passed only to the willing and those with the willpower to control it, restricted to a single organization like the illidari.
Of course, there are still easily hundreds of thousands of feral worgen among the Bloodfang and Nightbane, who are already doing this; the rite of passage is called The Righteous Kill, and involves the murder of one of the cult’s enemies.
Worgen are no longer human.
True. And according to Curse of the Worgen and Dark Riders, feral packs of worgen include both mindless and sane worgen, and are lead by the latter.
In Classic, it was Gutspill, who was in possession of an artifact you had to steal. After his death, they were lead by Gervase, who lead the duskwood worgen in searching for the Scythe of Elune. After his death at the hands of Revil Kost, the duskwood worgen appear to be lead by the packleader Marus, who wears human clothes, wields a farmer’s scythe, and patrols between the territory and his base in Duskwood. And lets not forget the worgen in Felwood, who are lead by the kaldorei-worgen Denmother Ulricha.
Also true! Genn is leaping from ship to ship in Lord of His Pack, going toe to toe with a former Sin’dorei ranger in Legion, and hunting boar on all fours in Wolfheart. In fact, Wolfheart confirms that he does not feel the aches of age in his worgen form. On top of that, other old humans like Grandma Whal are frail and senile in human form, but fully capable of killing forsaken in true form.
The worgen have only been back in it the waking world for the last thirteen years, so honestly we have no idea what their lifespan could be.

As with many worgen, Genn more often than not remained in his lupine form. He felt stronger, younger that way. When human, the king felt the aches of age. (Wolfheart, pg. 317)
Curse of the Worgen says that the Wolf Cult “went into hiding”. It never says they are dead. They are, in fact, still out there. We see in the starter zone it is the Bloodfang Pack that is attacking the city. A pack which is still very much active to this day. In addition, Dark Riders reveals that the worgen of Duskwood are part of the Wolf Cult as well, and the worgen of Duskwood are very much still active in Legion as well as in the heritage questline.
