One man's hubris is another's refusal to keep being bullied by other humans.

It's sad that throughout history, most humans are just willing to let fellow humans lie down and die at the hands of a powerful few.

Now we are moving away from the science and technology of extending lifespan and into the mire of politics. Just go watch 'When Worlds Collide'and call it a day.

If you fight against humans, it's usually not called hubris but fighting for your freedom and a right to live. I just think we should call it the same if our enemy is not a man, but the Grim Reaper himself.
