Personally, I might put your right to life ahead of my right to procreate... but that’s just me. I might be punished for it, through the ending of the genetic legacy behind me, with me, as a result of that choice of mine.

However, another individual, might not choose likewise. And when it comes to that point, the one who chooses to ensure his right to procreate over your right to live, and kills you, as a result, would be rewarded, by having his genetics preserved for a future generation.

That’s how nature operates. That’s the core of the system we are a part of. Morality and all its entrails, are a luxury, that we’ve had as a species, for a fraction of our collective existence.

How would a society come to terms with this very bitter reality? By inventing God.

If, as you claim, procreation is THE primary, transcendent motivation for all living things, then why would you choose to deny that primary motivation just to avoid the icky mess that would involve murder? There are two possible answers; One, that you're wrong. Two, you are seriously disordered in some way that prevents you from acting on that instinct which you are certain is the “prime mover” behind your very existence.
