People really need to accept the fact that they're going to get old and die. Nothing will ever change that.

I for one really have no desire to live forever or extend my life into unnatural territory

you never slow down
you never grow old

Ah, for those terrified of losing that which is bound to perish... I wonder what such people are afraid of? Nothingness? Hellfire?

I'm not afraid of dying, I just like it here. Far more interesting than the bliss of oblivion. (in my humble opinion.)

true.

on a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero, BUT the when is not in stone, nor is it completely beyond any of our control.

life expectancy keeps going up and North America doesn't even lead the pack.



some people say that in the next 20 years, life expectancy will go up dramatically.
