I'm not afraid death. I wish to see, participate in, and develop the (if possible, far) future. And yeah, I dream of the day I could do more far reaching stuff than what I do to pay the rent. I see 2 pragmatic reasons for aging: enabling faster biological evolution, and escaping the lower performance/plasticity of older brain. We are at the brink of usefully being able to engineer human DNA and germ line. Once we get there (possibly not in my lifetime) - to the extent brain plasticity/performance can be kept up (and improved) - I see little reason for death through aging.
