This is a complete non-sequitur. Most people, I think, want to have kids, but this says nothing about whether people want kids or not dying more. I, after all, have always wanted a pony.
That just looks like this to me:
Tom: "you're very clearly trying to extent your argument from biology to humans"
Tim: "Humans are organisms too"
Tom: "This is a complete non-sequitur"
Tim: It seems as though you missed some connections.
Humans are organisms. But it does not follow that if something applies to most organisms, it applies to most humans; after all, most organisms cannot learn to read. This kind of inference would only follow if instead of "most organisms X" the claim was "most members of all species of organisms X".
