- For modern people, death is a technical problem that we can, and should, solve. Our ideological commitment to human life will never allow us simply to accept human death.
- As long as people die of something, we will strive to overcome it because the fear of death is ingrained in most humans.
- In seeking bliss and immortality humans are trying to upgrade themselves into gods. Not just because these are divine qualities, but because in order to overcome old age and misery humans will first have to acquire godlike control of their own biological substratum.
