  If we can successfully cure death, I don't think we'll have a shortage of people willing to fund the spread of that cure universally. And once we have it, perhaps all remaining deaths will start to seem sufficiently tragic and avoidable that we'll do something about those, too. My reaction to your scenario is not "better die then", it's "better work faster and solve the problem then".
