Not following all arguments of the author, but do agree with the main theme. I'd rather live than not live. On the same topic, this is a great read: https://w

  I have ruminated about the same topic as the author on immortality, society and children. My take is that as a society we may at some point establish a system where people can decide between a) Living forever and b) Have children. In Biology there is this principle that all living organisms push to remain either by longevity or reproduction. We humans have gotten very good at longevity and if you think about it as a society we are focusing on that path. Now with the COVID19 event, I have thought that, if the same serious focused research effort, time and money was put by humanity on aging/degeneration/death related issues, we could have amazing progress in very little time. But for some reason showing relevant ads and paying faster is more important. Unfortunately we are focusing on "living faster" instead of "living more".
