That's our purpose from the point of view of the survival of the species, or our evolutionary makeup/biological drives; but from a neutral standpoint that is no purpose at all.
I don't believe that's our purpose from a biological point of view. I think the purpose of reproduction itself, rather, is the survival of the species. And if we find ways to prolong our species besides reproduction - i.e. life extension - than I would imagine that would be better than, to quote an above poster, simply live to fuck and die. We're going to die anyway(eventuall) even if we focus on making our lives significantly longer -and better at the same time- but at least we'll get more of a chance to get to know what life is about than we do right now.
