Imagine being okay with the idea that everyone’s individual consciousness will be permanently erased a few decades after they come into existence
suicide when dying by other causes is a thing? bad
suicide when dying by other causes isnt a thing? worse
i said without an out. im fine with removing the natural life span cap but otherwise having people still be able to die, but thats not what immortality is, if your going by the traditional definition
(it is what immortality is by the technical definition, but most people go by immortality means being unable to die, but still able to feel pain)
plus imagine being like stuck permanently in a situation that would otherwise kill you quickly or instantly. like perpetually drowning, or being stuck in space.

I think personally for me I’d rank my ordered preference for How The World Should Work as immortality-with-theoretical-outs > immortality-without-that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mandatory death
if pain were opt-out or semi opt-out that would probably be good on net?
id rather have mandatory death than no death at all, especially if there’s pain.
plus there’s the problem of space, but im going to assume that if we have the technology for immortality we have a way to deal with the space problem.

Ah but you have forgotten one of the important lessons in man kind
Never wish for something unless you know the consequences
I have a few years of experience with the consequences of being alive, and on reflection I prefer to continue doing so 
Yeah and guess what
The people who don’t want immortality also use their experience as their reasoning
wow gosh it’s almost like when the predominant societal message is that death is ~natural~ and ~necessary~ and ~really not such a tragedy after all~ and that there’s no use fighting it, people will absorb said messages regardless of whether they’re true
