Humans should live 500 years. Death is a disease. Aging is a disease.

We're not close to fixing this, and barring some tectonic shift in our capabilities, probably won't see substantial change within our lifetimes. But to take the stance that death and aging are acceptable seems so medieval to me.



Counterpoint: I wouldn't want to be a victim of slavery, torture, or boredom forever.


I wouldn't want to be the victim of them at all. Whether it's duration is 30 years or 10000 years. Besides suïcide is almost always an option if you feel your life is unbearable.
