The "problems" you mention are largely because we've pushed back death by a few decades without doing much about aging.
by creating more and more that live longer and longer we are sacrificing the longevity of the human race as a whole, not to mention the other life on this planet.
Neither of those assertions are clear. Arguably the opposite is true; people may end up caring about the environment a lot more if they can expect to live for centuries rather than decades.
- TamDenholm 16y agoTaking your argument of the environment, if there werent so many people, then we wouldnt need to care about it. On practically every TV show about natives of a country they only take what they need from the environment around them and are careful not to pillage it. If there werent so many people there wouldnt be a need for bustling metropolises and wouldnt have the impact that they create. My point is that if we didnt push back death we wouldnt need to do much about aging. I'm not saying we shouldnt advance as a society but IMO the vast majority of the problems of this earth are caused by people. But thats just my misanthropic view on life.
