but if you end it, that's it. Nothing more. Nada. Zilch.

The human race, medicine, longevity, all may have all sorts of implications. But those of us living today *might* be able to seek immortality. (Ben Bova wrote a book about it.)

Think about it. Short-term depression versus long-term immortality. Me, if I knew I had terminal cancer with "x" options to treat it, I'd try to hang on as long as I could, just on the chance that one of the weird treatments they are trying might lead to a cure.

Meanwhile, I'd play Everquest or Wizardry 8.
