Doesn't it strike you as a frying pan to the fire situation, though, Peng? Sure, solve "the death problem" - but then..what to do about the rest of the hydra, and our exponentially increasing burden on all of those other issues? Isn't it possible that an immortal life would be even shittier than a mortal one precisely -because- we've become immortal? Would you want to be immortal (or for humanity to be immortal) in this world, that we have today? What would you do, today, if you were an immortal?
