I'm not saying that. I said it's best to have equality and life. Please don't warp my words. The GP has a point, if flawed one at that.

Extending life by a certain amount isn't bad, it's bad if only the rich can have it. Also directly extending life is a huge boon, I think it puts many other methods (even if it's +20 years) in the dust.

The rift between rich and poor needs to close.

And we're back to sour grapes and envy. "If I can't have it, nobody should be able to have it. Hmph".

Even if what we're talking about is not a football or a piece of candy, but life itself.


I think maybe, just maybe there can be an option between only the rich can have it and none can have it, i.e. all can have it, some sooner than others.
