gwern comments on On the unpopularity of cryonics: life sucks, but at least then you die

[gwern]

From too much love of living,
    From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
    Whatever gods may be
That no life lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
    Winds somewhere safe to sea.

“The Garden of Proserpine”, Swinburne
