Quote:Our purpose is to have babies, but it doesn't mean need to all have babies. Look at the ants : one is laying eggs and all the others are doing other things... to serve that purpose.
As a species, it seems we are the only ones on Earth capable of colonizing other planets. It would serve the global purpose of living being, as it would allow to use more ressources to have more babies. So, it could be considered our purpose as a species to fulfill that biological role for our planet.
Lay an egg or pass it around.
Hmmmm. I'm disabled (crutches), and find that the pressure from society (which is able-bodied-dominated) is not to have babies, or really, to even have sexual thoughts (they don't have that much control IRL, but you get the picture).
Regardless, I don't care for kids, so I'll be willfully resigning to that pressure.
For me, our purpose is to do everything we can to stay alive. But honestly, Brittney Maynard may have proven that false.
I don't know, but I like life, so I'll stick around if that's OK with you all.
