I understand that some people have a spiritual understanding of life that has death as a requirement for meaning, however I don't have that. I can accept that I'll almost certainly one day die and I can apply the proper psychological and spiritual techniques to not be very stressed about that (finding meaning in death does this, which is almost the same thing as saying life had meaning because we die)... BUT I firmly believe death is a tragic disease we absolutely must continue to mitigate for those that wish to do so, indefinitely if possible. I simply can't see how it wouldn't be better if everyone could get a few more decades or even centuries if possible. Imagine the value of two centuries of physics research, two centuries of artistic development and expression. Life is so precious I don't accept that just 80 years is anywhere near enough of it.
