That strikes me as selfish reasoning. Not that I am judging you in a negative way or saying you are wrong for it for feeling so, I just wish to understand and help others to do so. |

Death isn't suffering. Death is natural. Dying is the latest fashion. |

well you don't mourn your own death, but anyways i predict in 50-100 years immortality(no aging) will be just as natural as death is considered to be now |

Science would argue our purpose is the continuation of Homo sapiens as a species. However, everyone finds their own meaning in life. Some find it love, some find it in religion, some find it in their own achievements. I don't believe there is one singular purpose for us to exist.

I'll start off with saying that this is not a cold and dieing world. It's a hot and dieing world. global warming, and all... I think it's perfectly acceptable to bring kids into this world. we need to continue the existence of the human race after all. However I don't think people need to have a ridiculous number of kids, 1 or 2 is more than enough. Personally I plan on examining the adoption option before considering having a child of my own. The world is ridiculously overpopulated right now. I kind of feel the world should follow after China with the 1 child policy. |
