If we think Covid-19 deaths are bad, well, they look a lot like deaths from ‘natural causes.’ Yet those are considered good and right and proper, and not like the horror that they are. We’re all going to die.
Sounds a bit like Sinclair in his book with LaPlante, Lifespan. We should be looking at aging as a disease, not a natural outcome of life.
With regard to the whole overpopulation fear or bored with living it is worth noting that solving aging doesn’t seem to be achieving immortality—at least not anytime soon I sounds. More about increasing the quality of life post 50 or so with perhaps an extra 10 to 30 years. Whether or not that extra time or the less aged middle year would really result in a significant increase in population I’m not sure. Others might have a good idea on how to model that.
