Death is a product of evolution. We die for no other reason than because evolution requires it. We are given life through what some might term a miracle of nature. Death takes that miracle away from us without consideration for the individual. It does not know our hopes, dreams or potentials. We die because nature has found a method that worked. Evolution works but it is not perfect. As intelligent beings we can find ways to accomplish the task of evolution without death. Science and technology can become our new form of evolution. Death should be our choice not something that happens to us over which we have no power. The problems of overpopulation can also be managed by science and technology and intelligent management of resources. As a species we tend to be so limited in our thinking. We should look for problems not as an excuse to give up or not try but to find solutions to them through ingenuity. There is almost always a way around problems given enough time , thought and experimentation. The earth has plenty of space above and below ground to sustain billions more people. For example, crops could be grown using artificial lighting or reflected light in multi stories stacks of fields that utilise land space from a 3 dimensional perspective. Then of course there is the vast resources of space, other worlds to inhabit and materials to be utilised. Through technology we can one day continually expand not only on earth but also on many other worlds through space. Through emerging technologies such as nanorobitics we will one day be able to reverse ageing, disease and evolutionary (genetic) problems. Those who embrace immortality will ultimately be able to live perpetually in their youth or prime through the continual renewal of their cells. Every life is a miracle of nature and every effort should be made to make that life to continue indefinitely in health and enjoyment. Another advantage of extended life and ultimately immortality is that one may live into a time when ones memory, intelligence and creativity can be increased through technology if one chooses. Children born with syndromes, deformities and genetic problems will be able to be repaired through future technologies, the kind of technologies promoted by immortalists.
