Not all of us view death as the worst thing that has affected this species, not sure why we should all “fight” against this. Afaik there’s no way for this planet to hold and accordingly feed hundreds of billions of people (us, our kids, our-grand-grand-grand.....-kids, none of us dying), so what will happen in case we were given the “eternal life” curse is that we will stop having kids. I for myself would always choose the world belonging to kids/younger people instead of older people.

Not on this planet no, but the universe is a huge place. Space is the obvious next frontier.

  Why is that more obvious than the bottom of the ocean?

    Would you rather live at the bottom of the ocean?

    Because that's where all the bottom feeders are.

I agree. Far more destruction happens in life, in our callousness with each other. The way we tear down each other's minds, piss in each other's homes. Death is as natural as birth. But sadism, addiction, domination, waste... those are not natural. They are a force from another place, one many religions have a name for. This does seem to be the point many religions try to make. That there are things in this world worse than death, worse than suffering. There are things which strip you of your nature, and many of them may even feel pleasant, tempting, satisfying as they wrap their hands around you.

  Sadism, addiction, domination, waste, these are all completely natural. Nothing that's unnatural exists. All existence is natural. What would make you believe otherwise? Just the fact that they don't align with your particular survival agenda?
