Reproduction is the process by which organisms produce more organisms like
themselves. All living things, including humans, reproduce: it's one of the
things that set us apart from nonliving matter. And because all living things
eventually die, new creatures of the same kind must constantly be born to
perpetuate a particular species. Interestingly, although the reproductive system
is essential to keeping a species alive, unlike other body systems, it is not
essential to keeping an individual being alive.
