I'm not sure you understand much about the evolutionary process, or life.

Trying to cheat death entirely isn't some perversion of evolution, its the pinnacle of it. It's the purest expression of the desire for self-preservation, which was hardwired into us by evolution, that there is.

If you don't like human beings trying not to die, then don't blame them for being "egocentric", blame evolution for making them that way.
