Maybe none of these guys would have done what they've done.

Maybe they'd never even have been born, their parents being to lazy.

Maybe we'd never have evolved from being pretty comfortable monkeys sitting around - why would we have evolved to breed, to love sex, and to make babies at all? Babies are just competition to an immortal being.

Bottom line is, none of us would be around to mourn the passing of an apparently very nice person. RIP Ilya.

But we are here now, and we don't want to die. Death might have been useful in the past, but now it's the high time for it to go away.

You could asses any natural disaster or mass genocide with the same "maybe" logic. I don't know you, but I doubt you applied the same framework to September 11th or the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004. These events are objectively tragic, as is the death of Ilya.
