i also do not understand (not even a little) the concept of accepting death or moving on or trusting in an afterlife or reincarnation. Not to put down anyones personal beleifs, but i have a realistic faith.
i want to make the best out of what i have here, and keep it for as long as possible. life is worth hanging on, even if there is an afterlife, why not make the best out of this life first? Seems absurd not to.
Sam, thank you for all the links, i have recorded them all and now I am going to go searching around. I am glad to be a fellow Immortalist.

I agree that technological advancements will make living longer and in relatively good health possible. It will be interesting to see how accidental death will be dealt with. That fact that we may have this choice in near future possible is very exciting. I wonder what suicidaldude thinks of this possibility.  |
