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.
Successive approximation? At least this keeps what we’re looking for without making having children be as bad as murder.
Well...
