The natural fallacy is seeing your children in any way a continuation of yourself. They are independent entities.

The only way what your saying is true is if we could create people with zero links to their parents DNA or create completely rewrite all DNA so it's novel (we can't).

This doesn't mean you own your children or anything like that, no one is suggesting their not independent, but you do go on living through your children in one way or another.
