Not sure why this was downvoted, but I agree.

It is easy to see why an individual would choose life over death, if one has the means for a comfortable life. A second order question would then be: would the society value your life over their own? Even as we speak, many thousands are dying of preventable causes, including man made starvation. There is no way immortality will be accessible to all, and will only increase inequality.

I'll happily change my mind if we can fix world hunger and homelessness before conquering death.
