Hi Justtristo,
I'm curious how you categorise reproduction as an objective purpose given that an objective purpose would have to be one which is seen as inherrently correct without the requirement for judegement by a concious entity?
My argument would be that it does, of course require a judegement on the part of the individual to factor as a goal of that individuals existence and is therefore just as subjective as any other purpose.
