Just think about how your parents sometimes rely on you. Don't you want some kids to do that for you when you're 70 years old? Otherwise you'll be on your deathbed alone and alone. And alone.
I understand what you mean, but not everyone ends up the same way. How can you be so sure you won't die of a sudden heart attack at 40? Does not matter if you have family or not in that scenario. Plus, several people don't get along that well with their parents or just put them in nursery homes and never bother to visit them. Doesn't sound like a nice way to die to me. It's either that or the hospital bed. And your future kids might not be near you in your last minutes of life. And even if they are, you might not be conscious anymore.

Man, this thread is getting depressing now.
