Until you’re old as fuck and everything hurts and you’re tired as fuck.

…which is why this sort of progress is game changing for those that aren’t quite done living (with decent quality of life at least)

But you’re missing something here:

Our societies have been impacted by people living longer, medical systems taxed and spread thinner, things like social security in the US getting choked out and spread thin, etc.

It would cause a serious shake up if people stopped dying, yes maybe that is ultimately a good thing but it won’t be easy or painless given that capitalism will not let go of the wheel.

It is not as simple as “I just wanna live”
