It may come as a surprise, but we're not the only species having sex.
Agreed, and I should have been more specific.
Man is created in God's image. Animals and plants are not. Therefore, when we participate in the creation of life, we are creating something that is in the image and likeness of God, and we're the only species doing that.
Also, it might be noted that it is not generally thought that plants and animals have eternal souls. Another distinction.
