> Well to be a bit more clear: Enabling everyone to reach an old age by fighting diseases is an honorable and good goal (as long as this is available to everybody and not just those few with deep pockets).
We might need to settle for a middle ground. Like for many other advances we had, we need rich to bankroll the R&D that will later lead to technology being available for rest. How to prevent it from turning into dystopia is another discussion.
> But on the other hand, I'm sure that death serves a goal as well. It is not a "problem", but very likely a solution to evolve the species.
It might serve a goal, but this is not our goal. Evolution may "value" inclusive fitness and death is its engine, but humans do not care about passing genes, they care about love, fun, intellectual growth, a good life. The process of evolution is not something we value.
