This is exactly the problem. In the default state of nature the entirety of erosive processes lead to a natural cycle of decay and death. Life extension is the alteration to this, to bend all of society's energy, focus, and scientific endeavor to stave off the absolutely natural erosive process that is the engine of Darwinian evolution, so that some gluttonous individuals and spend "centuries in hedonistic pleasure".
- Viliam1234 6y agoIsn't medicine the same, only on a smaller scale? We already allow many people to live much longer than they would have lived "naturally". Would it be better to have dozen kids and watch half of them die before their first birthday? If no, then what is so great about watching your parents die before their hundredth birthday?
