A beautiful (arboreal!) image, but also quite foolish. Every generation, your share of genes (on average) dwindles by half. So only 1% of β€˜you’ will live on in your 4th-great grandkids, & then .5%, & so on. Genetic immortality is a myth. Better to live for β€˜all our relations,’ as the Lakota say.

β€œOur death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us; our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.” β€” Albert Einstein
