This is an interestingly twisted line of thinking. RE aging vs. disease, how the two are different? Aging looks exactly like a genetic disorder that slowly kills you, the only difference being that this is the single disease we <i>all</i> share.<p>As for &quot;death is good&quot; vs. &quot;death is necessary&quot;, I disagree and it looks to me that &quot;necessary&quot; comes out of trying to come to terms with the fact it&#x27;s inevitable. You could argue in the past in the same way that diseases are necessary for various reasons, and yet we decided to cure them instead, invented antibiotics and hygiene and other medicine.<p>&gt; <i>Clearly there&#x27;s a difference between a body becoming frail vs. somebody intentionally fatally injuring it.</i><p>Comparing to murder may not be the best. Try comparing to accidents. Both dying of old age and of an accident is unintentional. Yet as a society we accept the former while rejecting the latter. This is strange and IMO happens only because we know we can prevent accidents, but we don&#x27;t know how to prevent aging. Yet.<p>We&#x27;d already know if more people cared instead of delegating the problem to deities or thinking it&#x27;s Good to die because it&#x27;s the Natural Order of Things.
