You also were born in the past. Are you not comfortable with death by your own declaration? So why do you work to avoid it, rather than embracing it? Why are you still alive? Are you not, by your own ethics, outside your time, creating a mess, and less valuable than people born after you?

Yet you undertake continual efforts to remain alive, embracing the use of food and medicine - technologies developed purely and entirely to stave off naturally occurring death.

I feel that you haven't fully examined your own position on this matter.

You're the one who hasn't fully examined my position on this matter, judging by your bizarre strawman argument.

I'm curious what other arguments you have, personally. I'm not sure you've expressed it fully yet.
I think he made some good points. What is the strawman here, if you care to expand?
Just because I don't think it's desirable for me to be alive 300 years from now doesn't mean I don't think it's desirable for me to be alive right now.
