In pursuit of immortality

Since circumstance or my opponent has deemed I should have an extra round, I'll not waste it, But rather spend it, Sharpening and clarifying the arguments thus far. So far My opponent has argued that there are people in life who find it a burden heavier than they can bear. While there have been cultures and societies in which suicide was endorsed or looked upon as fair, I assert this is hardly a common held view of cultures throughout history, Much less now. The strongest contender I can imagine at the present moment would be Euthanasia. But I shall cast that argument aside! Euthanasia I say, Is an argument concerning how one has a right to receive their death. Not an argument that entails in any which way immortality and life. Perhaps we might have another argument on whether one ought cling to existence to ones last breath, Even "To the pain. " However 'This argument I however say, Is about immortality. When has a feeding tube or a mechanical ventilator ever been called immortality? Immortality say I, Is the removal of this material worlds tyranny upon us. That we should have to die due to objects void of purpose or meaning? Unbearable! That we have no choice but to age, Be infected by virus, Lose our mind to dementia? Intolerable! In immortality man yearns to escape from all these soulless abominations that press upon him in inescapable time. But do you know what makes these facts of life unbearable and intolerable to me? Given the clear reality of their existence, Our bearing, And tolerating them? That I think now, We might be reaching an epoch of human existence in when we might have a say! Other souls, People and persons. Situations and circumstances wrought in meanings by reasons, By purpose and intention? . . . These deaths would still be, After one has conquered first the matter of mundane physicality and. . . Matter. A higher plane of reality to ascend next. Alleviation of life's suffering? Yes, I suppose death would remove a miserable persons worries and concerns. But so would it remove everything else. Death and nonexistence itself is not good or bad, But simply null. But! A person alive I say, Is still. 1 of something even if in despair. But you would take away even that scrap of life from them. That scrap, That seed that existence possessing an infinitely endurable quality and potential! While. It. Exists. Rage I Say! Rage against the dying of the life! Fight while even a spark still exists! Breath flame from ember and coal! Twist bending bodily with effort and steeling purpose in our minds! Fight while nails rip from your fingers! Your teeth crack! And bone breaks! Till the worlds ending, Amongst Ragnarok itself! To be human! To struggle! To exist. Still I say the mind exists firstmost to exist. That suicide though encounterable, Is unnatural. That ones will might be exerted. That existence affirms itself by don't of itself. I'm going to put down my sources and inspirations now rather than round 5 lest someone thinks I'm trying to steal concepts to pass off as my own.
