I can't say for sure that I won't ever choose to opt out of the rest of forever, but for now there are things I want to do, places I want to see, people I want to spend time with, or get to know. I'm not universally against death; when anyone chooses to die, that's their choice, modulo some concerns about depression-induced suicide. I'm against involuntary death. I want sufficient medical technology to keep people alive for as long as they choose. Death may be beautiful. I disagree, but I can see how some people might think that. I hear that the view from the top of mount everest is quite something, but does that mean there's no reason you might complain if someone broke into your house, dragged you off, flew you up there, and dumped you at the top against your will? I absolutely agree with you that it would be great if we could learn as a society to discuss death more openly. I think that a big part of what might help that happen would be sufficient medical technology that death mostly only happens voluntarily.
