> What If They Could? Then they'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
I was just reading about the French revolution. Not sure we should be hoping for anything like that.

Living forever sounds awful. For one, I am extremely curious what happens when I die. Without death, life becomes a hollow shell, or at least I imagine it would, as you would lack urgency.

Very few wouldn't, unless very much driven by their religion to fetish death. Who wouldn't select a part of the population they find unsaveable, say evil genocidal billionaires, and sacrifice them for extending their own lifespan + improving how they believe the world should be? Win-win.

The concept of “medically died” is kind of ridiculous. Are you alive? Then you weren’t dead.
It is a clinical term, you are arguing over semantics. Cardiopulmonary death to be specific. My point is: no one knows, not you, not me, and not my dog.

> Very few wouldn't, unless very much driven by their religion to fetish death. I feel sad that you seemingly have met more people who lack compassion and empathy than ones who have it. Personally, I don't know (or "hang out" rather maybe) many people who'd sacrifice anyone's life just to live a day longer, and I don't think that's a useful default view to have of people, most people I've met don't want to hurt other…
We don't even know how to get someone to be 130, but sure, let's waste time talking about this.
