Human beings have virtually no value if they are just machines

RE: Human beings have virtually no value if they are just machines
For those arguing that an eternal life will be eternally blissful, I don't think you understand just how long eternity is or some very basic elements of human nature. Let's tackle the human nature part first. We get bored with shit. Doesn't matter what it is, doesn't matter how much we love it, we get bored with it. A favorite food, favorite experience, favorite what the fuck ever. We get bored of it. One of the things that keeps us going is new experiences. Then there's eternity. That's for-fucking-ever. It's so much time you can't possibly imagine it, though you probably think you can. So, you've got people who get bored of everything and an eternity to spend. That leads to this.

Besides, I've met people who long for everlasting life who can't figure what to do with themselves over a long weekend.
