Immortality vs Having Kids

MyNameIsCharlie · October 23, 2015, 05:17:36 PM

What's more important to you? Your genetic survival or your personal survival?

Say that you had to choose, before having children, that you could be given a treatment that would ensure your immortality, but it would sterilize you.

If you have kids, think if this decision was presented to you before having them.

Which do you choose?

If I absolutely HAD to choose, I'd probably go with immortality.

But neither genetic nor individual survival is important to me, so. . .

I think the idea of having children is to have a legacy that'll further your name. You worry about the future because ... well.. you don't want to be forgotten.

But you won't be forgotten if you're an immortal. There is literally no point in having a legacy when you will be remembered because you will live through that.

Fuck passing on your genes
Never form a relationship
You wanna get in and out like you were never even there

I'm talking about vaginas and life in general

Ender · October 23, 2015, 05:27:18 PM

I'd like to have kids more than I'd like to watch everyone I know die while I'm alive.

Definitely immortality. Nonexistence is the worst imaginable fate.

Divinity.

I don't know, while there are somethings I'd love to see such as humanity going to other planets and shit, but I think it'd be a really monotonous existence with all the interesting things being few and far between. And I really don't want kids, I don't think I'd be a great Dad.

Immortality + Adoption

Immortality =/= Divinity

You could end up being an old hag

TB · October 23, 2015, 05:37:45 PM

That depends... Would I still get injured if I was immortal?
Like if a nuclear holocaust were to occur would I still be perfectly fine or would I suffer from the effects of the blast?
Similarly if I was dumped in space would I still suffer the pain of being in a vacuum?

If I had divine power, I would just make myself immortal.

So what's to stop me from putting my sperm in a sperm bank before taking said treatment?
