It seems like the best thing you could possibly do to me. It's the natural extension of the biological imperative.

Really? I mean does the biological imperative bridge our most high-order thoughts? This seems quite a few steps beyond child-rearing to me. There's no social norm, or instinct to procreate. It sees to me that then there is either 1) an instinct for the biological imperative that can span our reason, or 2) no instinct, but a reasoned 'honoring' of the instinct. Something else?

I can't say that I feel it, or even an impulse to honor it this way.
