That is not the same question at all.
The question posed is "What, in your view, is the purpose of life?"
My response was "to reproduce".
Then you say "the purpose of a being of any given species is to procreate".
So what are we arguing about? What does the last question have to do with anything?
And as for the other guy's question, scientifically a sound is the second definition. This is obvious and shouldn't have to be mentioned. The other definition exhibits blatant anthropocentrism.
