death is more complex than just being inescapable. Death is also a change agent that wipes the slate clean and makes place for the new. It's how all organic life adopts collectively.

The first thing that's going to be immortal when death isn't inescapable is Kim Jong Un. No thanks, if you want to see a world without death read Altered Carbon

Altered Carbon is just one fictionalized, dystopian account. It doesn't have to be bad.

Knowing humanity, though, it probably would be.

Stuff like that is really easy to say until you are actually on your deathbed.

I have incurable cancer and let me tell you, talking about curing death is laughably absurd at this point. We don't even have good pain killers.

What's absurd is that we aren't even really trying. Curing death and causes of ought to be the singular paramount goal of our society, but it's not, because we have been trained to accept it as inevitable ever since we were capable of thought.

Everything passes. This is not something that can be conquered; it is an inevitable part of the fabric of existence. Maybe it will one day be possible for people to live indefinitely. Maybe egomaniacs would live for thousands of years if they could. But it is not possible to live forever; the universe itself won't last (at least, in form hospitable to life) forever. And so the cessation of our consciousness is inevitable. We can't change this any more than we can change the value of pi.

Inevitable doesn't mean good.
