Not dying is entirely your choice, as long as you do not consume the resources that younger generations need.

If you do not die and plan to stay on Earth, then you will have a (probably very negative) impact on other people's lives. They can choose not to accept it.

Where else could you possibly go? Sending you anywhere else (like a terraformed Mars) might cost more resources than would keeping you alive on Earth for hundreds of years.

What about people who have 3+ kids instead of 2, while some people can only have 1? Can we choose not to accept it?
