It's also natural and normal to die in infancy, but we've solved that and I don't hear many complaints Edit: looked it up, 49% is the estimated rate for hunter-gatherer societies and 48% until ~200 years ago (depending on the country, may also be ~60% or as "low" as ~40%). In 1950 it was still more than a quarter; only within living memory has it truly become abnormal to die soon after birth. https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality This argument of what's "natural" holds so little water to me, I don't understand in what state of belief anyone even brings this up. Is this a religious thing? Why say "it's natural to die and therefore we should always continue to do so"? Arguments of overpopulation, psychological issues (and unknown unknowns), and other real problems, I can certainly understand, but "it's natural"? Please explain
