I'm devastated to know that I suffer from a dreadful chronic condition called aging and in 100% of cases the prognosis is steady decline and death. Dr's say maximum life expectancy for someone with my condition is 122 years however most only make it to 75 years. No current cure.
@linoleic_kills@911NewsBreaks You are entitled to become old and choose to burden your family and society with the costs of your geriatric care. By all means get out of 'the way' then.
@MECFSNanoneedle@DeryaTR_ Very sorry you have MECFS and I sincerely hope a cure is found ASAP. As for your views on aging "not being a enemy" and that death by aging needs to be "accepted" and it's for a "reason" may you NEVER be allowed near a aged care resident lest you cause them psychological injury.
@orpheuslaughs41@rand_longevity You have made a cringy comment that demonstrates your lack of understanding what LEV is. LEV does NOT remove death, it makes death by AGING optional. You have every right to get old and die if that is what would bring you and your family immense joy.
@peterottsjo The current editor is not very smart. If a newspaper advocates for aging and death and they get a certain % of buy-in they are simply guaranteeing the loss of their readership base because those pro-death readers will get old then cease to exist. Stunning smooth brain journalism!
@iXeno@MarcosArrut Aging and dying is NOT graceful. It's expensive, undignified, distressing and ugly and burdens surviving loved ones with never-ending grief and loss. You should be forced to LARP as a crepe skinned nappy wearing, toothless, arthritic, glaucoma, dementia ridden age care resident.
@TheImmortician@MarcosArrut WTF? He is living life, a GREAT life. He got himself a degree, runs a biotech lab and has identified a problem that needs urgent solving. He meets incredible people,travels internationally, studies cutting edge technology and wants his peers to remain young like he currently is.
122 years, of which you can only effectively leverage 40 'youth' years is no where near long enough time to exist and do the things you want to do and experience. Dying by aging needs to be optional.#fuckaging.
@emilkendziorra What would REALLY be epic is if we could apply the Hans Solo effect. You lock yourself in for 100 years in the hopes that during the time you are in stasis we develop the technology to reach LEV. You get woken up and bam! Your good to go.
One of my favourite poems written by Welshman Dylan Thomas sums up my attitude towards how much I hate aging and dying from it if we don't reach LEV
"Do NOT go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light!."
