Creating more life is perpetuating the cycle of death. You're creating a being doomed to die. Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death calls that an 'immortality icon'. It won't save you    And none of that stuff is meaningful. 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my work, ye mighty, and despair' etc    I don't wanna achieve immortality through my work. I wanna achieve immortality through not dying - woody Allen
