It's a pretty neutral decision on the whole.

People tend to think the world needs their DNA walkin' around out there after they're dead. They don't think about what the world that the DNA's walkin' around in will be like.

What‘s the point of making a biologically good decision? That would be a really stupid thing to do. Maybe it‘s a good decision in terms of subjective well being (don‘t know, but pit‘s possible) or for society (quite the opposite I think, but maybe a good argument can be made) but why would you base your decision on what your genes „want“?

Hey I'll choose my "entire point in life", thank you.

When you're about to die and see yourself leaving nothing behind, you will regret it. Just another case of natural selection.

Forecast someone else's deathbed, friend, or get to know me before making such a prophecy. I will regret lots of things but not that!

But I'm dead? So why does it matter?
