Not dying in general is an admirable goal; yet even if you can fix the cancer part of the equation those of us who don't get cancer will eventually die.

Could just be an assumption on my part. Maybe we will fix the "dying" part of the issue as well.




I don't think we want to "fix" dying. Some evil, sociopathic human somewhere would figure out a way to use that to harm people in a very profound way. I would also have to imagine that immortality would eventually become quite boring, even absent something like that.


You can always kill yourself.


Honestly, not everyone has the ability to do that.


I agree.
