Since evolution is about reproduction and passing of genes, we always talk about birth and replication. But what about death? I always assumed every living organism simply die of old age. But then I learned about Octopus that starve themselves to death on purpose after breeding, or certain species of female spiders that allow themselves to become food for their offspring. What other kinds of death are there in nature? What's your favourite?

This is exactly how our society should work. Equal pain and death for all genders.
Also what the fuck, fruits have genders? What's a female fig look like?
