I feel that you&#x27;re strawmanning the original post by changing it from something like &quot;death is necessary&quot; to &quot;death is good&quot;.  Clearly there&#x27;s a difference between a body becoming frail vs. somebody intentionally fatally injuring it.  There&#x27;s also a difference between stopping disease and stopping aging (well, at least if you define aging as not a disease, which I think is fair since AFAIK it has a different mechanism than disease.)<p>&gt; there are plenty of kinds of change that don&#x27;t involve ending a person&#x27;s life without their consent<p>Is &quot;without consent&quot; another reference to murder, or just the fact that most people don&#x27;t want to die?  I assume the latter.  How do you know that the kinds of change that do happen, aren&#x27;t mostly because death as we know it exists and subtly influences all our decisions?  Maybe there really would be less change without death.
