    back in the day people just died, now its hard to die of something and them not know why. take for example terminal illness, the obvious benefit is you can 'get your affairs in order' as they say, but there is a big negative to it all too, you will die.....soon, its a bit like saying "you will be hit by a bus and will die, soon....but you wont know where or when!"

    when you think about it its a bit odd, the way we try to save everyone and trade off quality of life against duration. its mostly just putting off the inevitable no?

    there wouldnt be 7 billion+ people who need to eat either!

    its like we as a species are trying to find a way to live forever, very odd altogether.

    Are you saying that we should abandon scientific research into disease, not bother to discover nor prevent causes of death so that there will inevitably be fewer of us to feed? :confused:

    Balls.

    The earth could sustain ten times the population it has now easily. Resources aren't the problem, how they are managed is.

    And that's your measure of living!
    OP, having read and reread that opening post I certainly think you need to get out there and start living. It wasn't even deep or profound it was just rambling.

    Having experienced both cures and deaths in my immediate family I find all your assertions simply absurd,
