Why? Why should I be content with the years nature has given me? Why should I not seek to have more? Do you not get joy from living? From being with the people you love? From exploring, learning, experiencing?
Why is a 'normal' human lifetime the perfect and most moral amount of years to have?
Your attitude is so full of suppositions. Frankly it seems to me that anyone who doesn't want more life must have deep psychological problems, some deep rooted depression or ennui.
- andrewingram 4y agoIn my case, knowing that I have a limited amount of time to save for retirement makes it difficult to consider a career switch from a high-earning career like tech to something I might find more fulfilling or noble. Curing ageing could eliminate this pseudo-mandatory retirement phase of our lives, which means more freedom to switch career tracks, to find more ways to impact the world.
