Fellow Extropians, please enarmor me with a set of counter arguments to this
assertion below as well as other classic deathist positions ?
"Professor Lee Silver, a geneticist at Princeton University, says any
attempt to achieve immortality would go against nature.
He said: "Death makes perfect sense in terms of evolution, in terms of
passing your genes on to the next generation.
"If we did not die then we would be around competing with our children and
that is not very good for evolution."
