Many people consider Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's _On Death and Dying_ some of
the best accessible psychology in this arena... If you're interested, you
might want to pick it up. Be forewarned, though, that it puts a lot of
emphasis on how this is a perfectly natural and *inevitable* psychological
process... Little extropian problem solving here.

The only thought that leaps to my mind is continued work on life extension
and cryonic reanimation technology. IMHO, the Live/Die/Die/Die grid won't
be convincing until it collapses to a Live/Die grid.
