Bloodlines

Familial Bloodlines are what long-term thinkers build for their posterity, in the Galactic setting.

This might include a series of clones, each mind uploaded with the memory engrams from the last.

A digitized mind could be uploaded into the lastest upgraded robo-host.

Or, upload Grandma's mem's into a natural new bio-gen.

Each new generation can determine their own way to pass on their genetic and intellectual heritage to the next generation.

In this way, building up your Bloodline is a sort of personal endgame.
