I&#x27;m struggling to think of how to reply. This topic is both hard if not impossible to grapple and fascinating to think about. I keep going off into mental tangents about our place (and insignifigance) in the incomprehensibly huge cosmos and how you can so easily say that we humans, who have been dieing along with every other living thing for all of our collective existence, that somehow we should strive to eradicate death and live for thousands of years, much less eternity.<p>I don&#x27;t know if hasty was the right word; I don&#x27;t mean to just dismiss what you&#x27;re saying. Clearly you&#x27;ve considered this at length.<p>I cannot easily accept that perpetual life is a good thing and death is something which should be avoided (obviously, in a grander sense). I don&#x27;t have a concern about life as a good thing in the same way I don&#x27;t have a concern about death being a bad thing. Life and death are complementary. I can&#x27;t fathom anything else.
