Not sure if you are kidding, but death is bad. I assume you don't want to die now, so why would you want to any other time? And don't say 'because I'm old', because obviously aging is part of the problem. Being 20-30 forever is the goal.

Death is not bad - without it life makes no sense. Being 30 forever and immortal would be my definition of hell. Death is doing a great job, leave it alone.

Chugging 300 pills per day - you will still die.

It is inevitable.

It is sad that you are insécable of finding joy and meaning in life without death. Go touch some grass.

you are reading something into my comment that is not there - I was saying immortal life would be a meaningless existence and no panacea to the human condition. Trying to escape death is not only futile, it is a waste of life. You are right of course, we should all touch grass more (I.e. really live) instead of trying to "solve" the human condition.

You misunderstood me too. Go touch grass and see what is so great about living. Then I don’t think you can fairly say we should have less years to live.

Can't wait to be a perpetually 20-year-old immortal Wal-Mart cashier because all the good jobs have already been taken by the other immortal 20-year-olds. Cleaning public toilets for the rest of eternity.
