do you want your kid to die someday as well? what if your quality of life didn't have to become bad? immortalists such as myself (that is, people who don't want people to have to die, and support scientific efforts to make that a reality) don't want people to just, like, persist in a state of unending geriatric decrepitude, we want folks to be able to live as long and healthy lives as possible.

i feel like you've shifted the goalposts, here. previously, you said you didn't want to live forever, now you're just saying you can't live forever.

also, we absolutely do have genetic engineering. it's been a thing since the 70s. the covid-19 vaccine, for instance, was a feat of genetic engineering. furthermore, techniques such as gene therapy can indeed modify the genetic information of adults.

P.S. i assumed you meant physically, rather than psychically, but if you did mean the latter, then i have no idea what you're talking about.

water's density is 100g/dl, not 10, so, not quite as severe as you said. the article said that the patient's cholesterol levels were roughly four times normal.

usually, calibre's ebook editor, but that's cause most of my html writing and editing is to make epubs.

if you don't want to die now, and you don't want to live forever, is there some specific age/time you would like to die, if you didn't have to?

pushing off dying as long as possible, if done successfully, is living forever though? do you not see the contradiction in what you wrote?

i think most people don't really want to die. and they like living for all sorts of reasons. i hope you can think of at least a few reasons you'd like to go on living as well.

i didn't get any prompts, and read the article, so i'll quickly answer.

  1. the guy is obsessed with penile behaviour as a measure of overall health, for some reason, and measured the nocturnal boners of himself, as well as his 19 year old son, as a point of comparison.
  2. the son shared his dick metrics himself. seems he's well and fully invested in his father's phallocentric longevity scheme.

rather more of them than on earth, according to the article.

Wowhead, the database of Warcraft items, lists 1,203 types of currency in the game. To be fair, some of those have been retired, and others are currency for a single item or purpose—but in comparison, the entire world (not of Warcraft) only has 180.
