he left his heart and eyes, but no baby after planting his seed?


Wouldn't that have added to the poetry? Wasn't it what the end called for? And then woody could've been the father, literally as far as his eyes. They should have contacted me first . It would have earned an oscar, if it didn't already.

They made love. Not sure he planted any seed. By the way who "plants seeds" in date night sex? Also Emily didn't know Ben was going to commit suicide and neither did he had any intention of letting her know so why would he "plant seeds"

Who? Real studs in fictional movies and love songs(didn't Heart make a song about one night of passionate hotel love that yielded a baby?)and occasionally real life

From a pure technical standpoint it would have been incredibly irresponsible of him to "plant a seed" on that date...
Why, you ask?
Because he was just about to commit suicide to let her have his heart, meaning he would be making her pregnant JUST as she was about to endure the unreal pains of having 1) a heart transplant, and 2) going through what is probably months of physical hardships while her body adjusts to her new heart.
Combine that with pregnancy and you're sure to have either a dead baby or a dead mother-to-be.

Awe come on, you make it too difficult. A baby as part of his gifts package would've been sweet, perhaps the ultimate. Depends on the woman maybe but don't most women want babies from men they love? I know I'd like to make babies with a woman I love, ESPECIALLY if she's taking off.

No, it wouldn't have. You seem to have this bizarre impregnation fantasy. It would've been incredibly irresponsible of him to impregnate Emily because of his planned suicide. Killing yourself and leaving a child behind isn't a gift. It's stupid, unfair and cowardly.

Stop projecting your weird ass fantasy. Keep it to yourself. It's selfish and bizarre. Normal people don't want to have a child only to be absent from that child's life.

Wow! What a way to stereotype a black man.
