Why wouldn't i? Why wouldn't you? Because human society has got used to this disease called death? Because we created all sorts of excuses (religion, believing our soul will last forever, "because that's what makes life interesting", and so on...) to get comfortable with the idea of dying?
If you took a look at the links i put above, you'd have the answer to when you say that our bodies ultimately weaken and die. It doesn't have to be like that. With the technologies that are coming, we will be able to live indefinitely with bodies of today's 20 year olds.
Actually, our bodies will be better than that, since they will be enhanced. I could go on and on about this subject, but i think you got the point. For the first time in history it will be possible in a near future (some think it will be in 30 years, some think it will only happen in 80-100 years) to fight and eventually beat death.
So i ask you now; why do you want to die? I see no reason for being comformed with the idea of being caught by the soul reaper only because we have never been able to do anything about so
yet.
