RE: About Dying - Part II
Thank you very much for your comment. I totally agree that this is a complex topic with very mixed (split) opinions also within oneself. As a society we might face the challenge to work out a solution how to deal with the technical possibilities to extend the life of an individuum to a considerable amount, in the next years. Beside the everlasting challenge of mankind how to organize the distribution of limited resources (water, oil, energy, food) this might be an issue of coming across with an overextended resource (lifetime). Problems may not only arise for the society (“class of people accumulating capital and power over a thousand years”) but also for the individuals. Based on the fact that at this very moment, the number of suicides is already higher than the number of victims of violence is pointing in another, but less problematic direction.
