The right of passage between existance and life.

The liberation of potential.

Answer 8

It's the pseudo continuation of immortality.  It's the birthing into the physical world of a new soul, within a physical capsule that carries the parent's DNA.  (So, if your liken bodies to cars - some new souls will be cruising in a Benz, while others will be hobbling along in a Hyundai)

As our DNA is passed onto to our offspring, in a sense we achieve immortality until our line ends (if ever).  Collectively, all souls are working to make life on earth a paradise.
