RE: Death and Dying - personal musings on how we deal with it and how that affects our lives

in #life8 years ago

Interesting article, particularly the comparison of historical attitudes about death compared to today. It seems like the distance from death and modern taboo on mentioning death is a driving force of transhumanism. As we use technology to extend our lives indefinitely, I wonder if inevitable death will be more welcome or more feared.

Given the variety of human viewpoints I think we will see both perspectives.
