&gt; I find this anger against death weird.<p>Of course you do, because accepting death is a huge part of our culture, a part we developed to make coping easier. It&#x27;s hard to think differently from how you have been taught to.<p>&gt;Death is part of our lives and we should accept it without the drama<p>Who says that and for what purpose (who benefits from status quo) ?
Note that death isn&#x27;t even a law of physics, it&#x27;s just a consequence of our biological structure and our genetic makeup. Many organisms live much shorter lives than humans, but some live 3-10x longer than us (For example Arctica Islandica clamshell lives &gt;400 years, Bowhead Whales and Koi fish live ~200 years, Pinus longaeva trees live up to 5000 years). These are scientific facts.<p>Then, there are genetic engineering experiments [1] that produce C. Elegans nematodes that live 5x longer lives than wild ones. There are less dramatic but positive results for mice.<p>Humans aren&#x27;t special, it means that some future variants of these techniques could be applied to humans either to produce longer-living individuals or to increase lifespan of existing ones.<p>If you still think that someone&#x27;s life is not worth extending you are simply being amoral. Please decide such important matters only for yourself and not for others. I&#x27;m sure there are more than enough humans that would prefer to extend their lives.<p>1.
