A world without death is a world where flowers <i>never</i> change into fruit, a world where fruit <i>never</i> change into a new plant. Remember there&#x27;s a theory of the universe ending in heat death, where entropy is maximum, where there is no more change possible. To prevent death is to prevent change, and you bring about a world, in the long term, becomes changeless, like a giant museum, flowers and fruit and plants stay in the same state and never age, caterpillars never turn into butterflies, where squid never mate and reproduce, everyone immersed in their VR, day after day, for eternity. Philosophically, what difference is that to the heat death of the universe then?<p>The experience after death is exactly the same as the experience before birth. Was it a vile, atrocious thing you weren&#x27;t born until you were? Death is about returning to that state. The disintegration of your mind is the mirror image of the creation of it. A world where you have left without right, top without bottom, beginning without end is like the universe before the big bang, or the universe after the heat death, where we, you, me, and everything else, is returned to being one.<p>Lengthening life span? That&#x27;s a different matter. But I can tell you, you will never stop death from happening. It&#x27;s perfectly acceptable to accept death will happen, and more isn&#x27;t always better. ;)
