Yeah, every biological organism has a programming to survive long enough to create some offspring, hopefully giving them genes undamaged by the inevitable oxidization, and then promptly die to leave more space and resources for the next generation. I don't think biological humans should live forever, btw, too much resources needed. Now the energy-based species, on the other hand... ;)

POLL: Would you become immortal, if you could?

interesting perspective! Perhaps the "mortal mind" can't see beyond its own paradigm, which is understandable, and infinite life is actually a blessing I cant even comprehend right now.

At the same time, I do think it's perfectly healthy for us mortal minds to _want_ finite life, despite what the infinite may promise.
