To some people death and the end of the universe are equivalent events. Others seek refuge in natural fallacies.
The difference between this moment and all others, is that amorality is actually achievable. If you can get an AGI and drown it in compute, through sheer brute-force the secrets of biology will be unraveled. The task is not to attain amortality immediately, merely gain more life faster than you lose it.
Others seek refuge in natural fallacies.
Are you trying to call having children a natural fallacy?
The natural fallacy is seeing your children in any way a continuation of yourself. They are independent entities.
The only way what your saying is true is if we could create people with zero links to their parents DNA or create completely rewrite all DNA so it's novel (we can't).
This doesn't mean you own your children or anything like that, no one is suggesting their not independent, but you do go on living through your children in one way or another.
