To your decedents it is obviously advatageous....but I don't see how it helps one personally after they are dead....the only advantages I see is when you are alive....

When you analyze deep enough, establishing a genetic legacy is the paramount motivation for all living forms, no matter how much PC nonsense can make arguments to the contrary. It's life's substitute for immortality.

False. If you were given the option of 1) A guarantee of a long, healthy life without genetic offspring (you would be free to adopt) or 2) A guarantee of procreation today with a second guarantee that the child would live a long life, but you will die tomorrow, which do you choose? Unless you can make the argument that only the disordered would choose a long life, then I'm afraid you're wrong.

Maybe that is what ultimately drives us to progriate....Yet...in the end it serves as no advantage when one dies....which is what I questioned initially....how does this provide an advantage to one who is dead....?

I cannot think of one advatage....assuming there is no existence after death....
