It's wild to think that aging is something that needs to be cured, and isn't a part of the natural human experience. I'm so tired of people trying to play the role of God, as well as people that cheer these sorts of things on.

I hope you keep these horrible thoughts to yourself if you ever walk through a paediatric hospital

Most people want more life. For most people it's also the most terrifying part of "the natural human experience".

If you're happy to die, why be bothered by others' trying to live longer? You won't be around. And assuming people can finance it themselves, is it really a problem for society?

Most of the kids in history died before age 5.

Child mortality is very low now compared to the past, thanks to the modern medicine and technology.

I am glad humanity "played God", and reduced this unnecessary child suffering.
