There’s no impersonal way to process death, so anyone who tries to reason based on logic or morals is emotionally distancing in some way, from fear or ignorance. Inevitable death seems like a fair thing in some ways, not only it’s an equalizer but also makes the process less lonely. Your loved ones and those you admire have or will have gone through it, and everyone dies alone but if we all end up in one place, it can’t be that bad, can it?
If the immortality becomes a thing, death will only get scarier, so people will be invested in inevitability of it for long time.
