I do not get it.

This guy has discovered how to be immortal by reincarnating in other people's
bodies.

Why he nor anyone near him and even other people just knowing it do not
suggest him to reincarnate into his own toddlers?

It would be totally legit in a world in which children are already been forced
to work, kill and do war.

It would not be that bad: reproduction would be then considered as cloning and
it would become normal in a few generations.

If even in real life we legitimately "kill" fetuses to get stem cells, why
would then be a problem to clone people into newborns?

With widespread immortality ninja wars would make no sense and everyone would
live peacefully.

Why Orochimaru tries to steal other people's bodies instead of just reincarnating into his own offspring?


I have read it [here](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/56558/why-
orochimaru-tries-to-steal-other-peoples-bodies-instead-of-just-reincarnate)
that the technique lasts 3 years. I guess this could be a sufficiently valid
answer, unless there is other info I am missing (I am at the 140th chapter).

Simply using bodies identical to his own would run counter to his obsession to
learn every jutsu there is.

Consider two of his potential hosts that we saw in the series Kimmimaro and
Sasuke.

Kimmimaro was the last of the Kaguya clan and the only person left with the
ability to use bone techniques making him the only chance for Orochimaru to
acquire them though Kimmimaro's terminal illness ultimately made him
unsuitable.

Then we have Sasuke stemming from his desire to obtain Sharingan and their
ability to copy jutsu on sight which would allow him to easily expand his
repertoire.
