hmm....if you look at the question spiritually and believe in some sort of an afterlife, then having a child wouldn't really have a bearing on your immortality. when you look at it physically, there tiny pieces and parts of you will go on forever, whether through your children or not. obviously, your children will inhereit genes/traits from you that will influence their descendants for a very long time. the other interesting thing is that no matter is EVER created or destroyed. the atomic particles that compose your physical body were once parts of dinosaurs and stars. so really, children or not, at least on some level you are immortal.

IT IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD WANT SEE IHAVE 1 CHILD AND BASICALLY IWAS JUST A VESSEL TO BRING A BABY INTO THE WORLD BY A MAN WHO USED ME SEE IFEEL I HAVE LIVED TO LONG ALREADY OR MAYBE EXISTED TO LONG SO I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE FACT ONE DAY I WILL DIE NOT LIKE SUICIDAL OR ANYTHING JUST TO BE FREE FROM THE EXISTENCE I HAVE KNOWN BUT WHEN THAT COMES IS UPTO GOD SEE MY LIFE IS ABOUT PAYING FOR THE SIN OF MY CHILD AN TRY TO BE A BETTER PERSON I DO FORGIVE MYSELF A LITTLE AS NOW INOW I WAS A BABY WITH ABABY THE SADDEST PART IS THERE ARE LOTS OF WOMEN IN THE SAME BOAT LIVES SPENT BEFORE ITWAS BEGUN
