I hadn't thought about it before, but I suppose that's true. In the great scheme of things, my footy medals don't count for much.Originally posted by DundeegeorgeIn evolutionary terms, if you have kids you are a success. That's it. Bye.
But what about drone bees, or whatever the ones are called that don't have offspring themselves? Their definition of success is the queen's offspring. So, if they can be a success by proxy, why can't people?
And now this kind of carry on is getting into the human race. What about a surrogate mother, who is implanted with fertilised eggs of another woman? Which woman is the success?
