i think that is a valid debate. upon reading more info at Immortality Institute ~ Advocacy & Research For Unlimited Lifespans about the future of immortality and the benefit of these studies is that immortality would be a choice. and lifespan would be a choice as well. it is a really incredible choice to have.

you can decide if you've experienced too much, or if you want to see more. granted this choice is only going to happen if research in immortality studies continue, but it further begs for the question:

why isn't everyone in support of furthering the research and development of immortality?
