I'm really sick of transhumanists coming into every fucking discussion about death, or the death of some particular person, or anything at all really and derailing it into an argument about the merits of developing human immortality. It's really starting to become one of the classic HN flamewars, right up there with the Apple and Facebook haters. I don't think there's anything to be gained by another go-around on the subject.

We're talking about reality, here and now. If you want to discuss science fiction, start your own thread.
