<i>Society might need death, but I still want to live forever.</i><p>Anyone who is sufficiently math literate should know that they&#x27;re very unlikely to live forever. If there&#x27;s some finite chance you&#x27;re going to die each year, as you consider longer theoretical lifespans, the probability you&#x27;ll die gets so close to 1, it&#x27;s basically a certainty. Anyone who is sufficiently science literate should know that thermodynamics and the heat death of the universe precludes anyone living forever.<p>All that said, if you offered me a life-span boost to 250, 1000, or a million years, I&#x27;d take it!
