The thought that I'm gonna die one day
Binette, that is in no way a certainty
How is it not?
Binette, for the first time in history, our civilization has all the tools necessary to discover a cure for aging. It's just that this whole idea is frowned upon by so many people because humans having expiration dates is considered "normal", and therefore good, by the society.
I'm following the research and am 90% certain that there will be a breakthrough in the next decade.
There are so many extraordinarily hard problems that need to be solved that I worry you are setting yourself up with false hope.
