That's perfectly understandable. Death is terrible, the debilitating effects of aging are arguably even worse, and it's natural to want to avoid thinking about them. The problem is when that avoidance impulse becomes so strong that it prevents people from seriously considering solutions, instead rejecting them with thought-free soundbites like "death is part of life". We're the first generation that actually has a chance to do something about the annihilation of billions of sentient beings, and the immense suffering caused by the physical and mental effects of aging. But in order to solve the problem, we have to be willing to acknowledge that there is one. And now that I'm sufficiently inspired, it's time for another SENS donation.
