Who gives a crap about "genetic legacy"? How about mind your own business.

It's a biological drive, at least until you're past the age of fertility. Whether you consciously think about carrying on your genetic line, it's baked into the hardware.

Most people.

It was interesting of you to make the remark considering it’d clearly be unpopular, but agree with others, don’t really care about my genetic legacy. Am going to be dead so it’s meaningless to me.

And actually, a non-genetic child might be nice, especially if you get one at the right age. You don’t have the intense burden of raising a baby or when they’re a young child, but still get to the joy of raising a child (as long as they like you, which is of course the biggest downside. Probably less of a tendency for them to attach strongly to you).

Nah, creepy weirdos care about “genetic legacy.” Normal people have no problem with adoption or stepkids or whatever.

The “reality has a liberal bias” crowd gets pretty quiet when biology comes up.
