Honestly, I’m not quite sure about that one. Making a child, knowing ve’ll eventually die? When there are probably other universes in which that is not the case? I don’t feel very safe in judging that question, one way or the other.
1) I’m a lot less confident in the existence of true immortality. The second law of thermodynamics is highly generalizable, and to get around it you need infinite enthalpy sources.
2) I like living enough to prefer it and then dying to never living. I think I can give my kids enough of a head start that they’ll be able to reach the same choice.
Well...
