It's interesting to have it called a script; implying that it is fixed and out of your control. For what it's worth, I was given the same script by my parents and especially the Catholic Church, but it all seemed pretty ridiculous on its face; even to a child it was pretty clear that it was a nice delusion, but we all end up gone and forgotten once the script runs out. I have zero desire to put children through any of it.

It hasn't felt like much of a gift so far, though I suppose the pain of living with a crippling illness might color that view a bit. Still if I could choose to continue to exist, I might actually, but unless there are some serious technical advances (or if you believe those Catholics), then extinction is coming for me and all of us. Creating children consigned to suffer the same fate in some futile quest for immortality seems like far too heavy a burden to place on them. I am however intrigued that you appear to have created an account just to reply to me. That is a novel experience.
