	You say you are not an immortalist. 100 years maximum is enough for you.
You say 100 years should be enough for anyone, since the old should make
room for the ever evolving young. When you get to be 99, will you still
feel the same way? Let's not wait that long. Let's try an experiment right
now to see whether you are an immortalist.

	I am chief biochemist for Phuture Pharmaceuticals of Philadelphia, a
recent biotech startup firm. Our most promising product is Savalife, an
anti-aging medication. We expect to make a good profit marketing Savalife
Capsules for 25 cents apiece, retail price. Take one every day after
breakfast, and you will stop aging. Take another after supper, and you will
gradually grow younger. The only known side effect is a slight feeling of
euphoria. The drug has completed all clinical trials and has FDA approval
for safety and efficacy.

	If you would like to live on indefinitely in good health, you will buy our
Savalife capsules. In that case, you, like most others, qualify as an
immortalist. If you decline Savalife, you are not an immortalist. You are
one of the relatively small group who see aging, inevitably accompanied by
physical decline and death, as a good thing.

	Each to his own taste.
