I see the article as not so much folks wanting to live forever, but to live better while here. And if it adds some more years with healthy bodies then meh, sure, why not? In the old days folks lived into the hundreds because their dna was more pure, not as many mutations to cause diseases. It’s not so much the fear of dying but rather the desire to live stronger while alive I think

Suppose that you are given a medicine and can live for forever.

The Chinese take over the world.

They don’t like you and send you to dig salt.

You will spend eternity digging salt.

We are not alone on this planet.

We live in a world filled with people who are just bags of emotions walking around.

In the old days folks lived into the hundreds because their dna was more pure, not as many mutations to cause diseases.

If you are going back to the time of Noah and Methusaleh, it is a stretch to say that it was DNA purity. We just don't know.

If you go more recent (1600s-1700s), I will tell you that in my hometown cemetery in Wallingford, CT, there are certainly folks over 100, but there are also MANY MORE who died at a very young age. These days, people with weaker immune systems who would have died young are kept alive to live a full life. That is not necessarily a bad thing.
