I think tattoos and piercings are stupid for the same reason. Dental surgeries can make you look normal and improve function. Pacemakers help you live longer.

There are things that regular people can do that will survive their deaths. Mostly, having children. But also having close relationships with other people who will remember you, tell stories about you, and so on. I expect plenty of people on HN will write code that will survive them.
