Just wanted to mention a personal emotional catharsis: that somebody, somewhere, is taking "death" seriously. A very great relief from the strain of reading so many posts on its technological evasion.

This is not meant to be critical of List Extropians; simply a rather straightfoward application of Occam's Razor:

"Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate"

Death is nature's way of quantitatively compensating for birth, and I claim that the principle of parsimony requires no more human beings than absolutely necessary.
