"And well the might, in order to pass something themselves onto future generations, and ensure a measure of immortality. In some people's eyes, someone who is sterile is already dead, because they can not create life. And in the sticktest terms I am sterile - I can not have a child with a woman, at least not through the merging of DNA. There are many other ways of course, but they're not exactly the same. The point isn't quite as important to me as it would be to a human male of course, because I am not going to die of old age or disease, and apart from the case of a serious accident, I shall continuiing living for millenia. So I already have immortality. As do many these days, what with genetic technology and so forth, no-one needs to die, and so one of the greatest motivations for having children is gone." Kip said, sipping against from his Wine (which was not going down in level), and fixing Harm with his warm gaze.
