Hmmm. These are really good points. I do feel guilty about the idea of living a really long time while a lot of others don’t. That may be what triggered my first big objection—that you could save a lot of people with that money. Now I wonder if that objection was a rationalization of some type of survivor’s guilt. I think that this is likely. Very good point. Now I’m wondering what the nature of this survivor’s guilt is, for me.
I still feel survivor’s guilt, actually. Even though it’s not attached to a specific objection any longer—the objection about saving starving children has been rebutted.

New objection—Survivor’s Guilt
That’s already seen as a fallacy isn’t it?
Well, more relevantly it’s seemingly assumed by most of the population.
