Maybe Kass likes death; but that, by NO means, implies that I do. As far as I am concerned, if I want to live forever without causing others harm, what's the problem? Of course, we could objectify this argument: If we take away the power death holds over all of us, then it's highly likely that many organizations that capitalize on mortality would make a desperate bid to keep their power. (One would compare the World Trade Center disaster to this. Isn't it such a coincidence that it happened AFTER the human genome was mapped and cloning became a real issue?) --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
