Is it normal to be saddened/depressed at infertility

I have Klinefelters XXY sex chromosome type. I cant have children under no amount of science. I’m sad that I can’t continue my family bloodline from my end, I have a brother who can still have kids. But the thought of losing out on getting my genetic code into another generation is disappointing to say the least. I know adoption is always there but there’s not the extra umph that it would bring. Also the fact that I automatically just lost my inate animal purpose for exsisting.

    I haven't had any luck having babies and it's depressing. :-(

    I don't think reproduction is much of a reason for living.

      It is the point of life for all living things. The primary objective anyways.

        It has never really appealed very much to me, because it looks like way too much work.

    I had to look up klinefelters. I am so sorry for you, man. You aren't alone... that is the only consolation I can offer.

    I understand where you are coming from. Especially being male it really is wired subconsciously in the brain to keep the lineage going.

    Sad for you, but if you're seeing your main purpose in life is to reproduce that's a choice. There are lots of other reasons to be alive and it doesn't look like a good idea genetically for you to reproduce anyway.

    I've reproduced once, but it was never my primary purpose in life: I guess I'm oldfashioned, I just want to leave the world a bit better than it was when I came into it. What's more, I know I have.

    Instead of having kids, why not get into politics, become President and rule the country? You could vent your frustrations by firing off a few nukes.

      I’ve liked politics but not enough to start out of the get go. Have me acquire some capital and see where I go.

    It is normal. I have chosen to have no kids either(due to family quarrels ).
