Is A Life An Evolutionary Examination And If So, Excluding The Obvious, What Are Our Individual Prospects Of A Pass?
So you have children. That could be an evolutionary failure for all you know. I never did have biological issue but what if I did something that contributed to our survival as a species later on?
Unlikely for me, but is it our unnatural concern for the propagation of our own genetic legacy and not our ability to think beyond that concept to a more collectively beneficial alternative that, as we act like we have transcended evolution, might help us one day to avoid extinction?

The human species has through evolution been provided with what is potentially a remarkable tool for adaptation to a continuously changing environment, an environment which through our success as a species has been impacted for both better and worse by that very success . . . namely, the capacity to reason. Whether this inherited capacity proves to be...

I think there has never been a better time to reject the procreative justification for human existence. What's so challenging about that when in the new reality there are so many other ways, big and small, to make your life mean something, even in an evolutionarily significant way.
That's what I was suggesting.

An intriguing question Colmc54. Our scientific development has indeed interfered with natural evolution as we understand it where prolific procreation ensures the continuity of the species. Such proliferation is now becoming a threat to our survival so we must constrain it. However, our scientific development has also become a threat to our survival, so we have a dilemma really. Someone famous once said human survival will be a race between scientific and moral advances (or something similar) and at the moment the latter is losing the race.
It may be an intriguing question, but it's difficult to tell as I can't make head nor tail of it.
No one transcends evolution. It has nothing to do with what be think, it is the process of change that goes on regardless. Life only means something if you assign a meaning to it. And then that's only your interpretation. Procreation is necessary for a species' survival. Nothing relevant cares if a particular species doesn't continue.
