    Fear mongering nonsense. Did anyone feel that way when infant mortality went way down?

    You’ll have other people the same “old” as you to hang out with. Many people say they “feel 25” inside, well guess what, now we can make your body align with that.

    We already have “anti-aging” compared to how people aged, say, two hundred or two thousand years ago.

    Besides, “immortality” is an absolute, you can always choose to unalive yourself if you feel so strongly about Pokemon Platinum. No Greek-style tragedy of the “immortal” who can’t kill themselves.

    Seems to me there is a lot more in life that can be enjoyed with a few extra centuries.

    Or even better, a Logan’s Run style of extended youth for your “allotted” four score and ten, then poof! Carousel. No aging, no senescence, no frailty, sickness, disease, waning sense and shrinking brains, just extended 20-something for 60 years, then ZAAP!

    I’ll take that over the meandering aging nonsense of how I’m supposed to revel in my aging carcass.

    PS: There is no soul. Just complex patterns in a vat of neurons.
