A brain and body are centred on one thing, survival.


Actually, the human brain and body is centred on one thing: reproduction. And that, my friends, is a scientific fact. And as your body sacrafices a lot to go through puberty and thus ready itself to pass on it's genetic material, this instinct is far from survival.

Hey mate, thanks for the intelligent comment yes? Yes. Anyway, on to an answer:

Couldn't you not say, by digging a bit deeper into the human brain and body, past everything else inside the genes of a human, that passing on the very essence [genes, DNA, your own traits, etc] of what makes you, well, you and achieving this through reproduction, by very literally making copies [the genes and your inner traits of humanity] of themselves and forming it into a new creature. Doesn't this pass on the survival of the genes, and thus the human or body? Can't it be said that by reproducing is just a means for the overall genes, which form the body of the person, at least in thought, and thus the species itself to survive on?

Heh, reproduction is incredibly important, you know. Like influence, which in the NS context is pretty stupid. However, thank you for bringing this up.

You have a source for this? Reproduction is the ultimate form of survival, but I doubt that it takes precedence over sustenance for example.
