Of course not, that's absurd. Consider if you were: if a person was
copyrightable, he would have the legal power to force his kids not
to have any kids of their own - after all, a person's children would be
derivative works of himself as far as copyright goes.

"Sorry kids, if you don't agree to the EULA for my DNA, I'm going
to have to terminate your license to copy it." [!!!]
