jeez, this makes me feel like joining the Voluntary Human Extinction
Movement (http://www.vhemt.org/)"
.>>My god, this is just entirely disturbing. Extropians, can these memes be
ranked high on the list of ones to erradicate.
Let's see, in an ideal world we could live indefinitely - but we should
continue to
have kids without limit. Do the math!
>>Voluntary termination of the human species?
Fairly obvious that that won't happen - termination of the human species is
more likely to occur
as a result of overpopulation, greenhouse gasses,
environmental-political-economic warfare -
Like yeast in a bottle. Slowing down population growth is essential to any
sort of meme that involves life extension.
Kindof wierd to think that a "luddite" would be in favor of the technology
of birth control, therapeutic cloning, etc.
The points made on the web site above fit very well with the notion of life
extension.
Ian
