Stop, not forever.
Let's get this straight. People should no longer die on their own due to old age.
That is not immortality.
The chance of having an accident or getting a disease is 100% if the time factor is high enough.
But a person should not die because period x is over.
That man should die, I think is an ideology. Sometimes also religious reasons.
For me it is ok if someone does not want to live.
The fear of problems will not stop me to do everything to stay alive. People expand borders.
Nuclear bombs and weapons of mass destruction we have built, but when it comes to life-extending technology, we have doubts? That can't be true.
What I view negatively in this context and in religions is when people want to tell others what to do. A kind of Sharia of death.
I would not force anyone to live and no one should force me to die.
