Reminds me of Andrew Martin's line (played by Robin Williams) in "Bicentennial Man" ("Sir" is Mr. Martin, his "owner" -- Andrew Martin is an android); Sir is educating Andrew on the various facts of life, including reproduction:

Quote:
Andrew Martin: Sir, of all these millions of sperm, only one makes it?

Sir: That's true.

Andrew Martin: What happens to the others?

Sir: Well, they die.

Andrew Martin: They die?? [pause] One feels badly for them.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
- Lyndon Johnson, on signing the Wilderness Act into law (1964)
