I don't buy into that. It sounds like rationalizing contentness with the status quo. We embrace life over death all the time, we fight disease, famine, and other causes of death all over the world. I'm not going to go against that instinct for promoting life because of some theoretical arguments of sein-zum-tode. The existence of such arguments in itself proves nothing: enough opposing arguments have been brought forth as well (like the fable of the dragon, linked in the other reply). But again, to me the proper response is akin to Moore: I love living. We fight for life everywhere. That has more swaying power than the theoretical arguments of some philosopher concluding immortality leads to meaninglessness.
