In pursuit of immortality

Now to be fair I did not explicitly state that this immortality made it impossible for a person to kill themself, Or impossible for people to kill each other. In round 1 I argued that "The pursuit of being alive" ought to be valued more than other pursuits so to speak. The only forms of immortality I suggested in round 1 were in the form of stopping cancer and aging. I also offered clarifications in the comments if anyone did not feel the debate was explained enough. I offer "Opportunity for change" as a reason why people should not give in to despair, Rather than a reason for life itself. The reason for life itself is. . . Itself I assert. Sure there are qualities, Reasons, And meanings we find in the world outside and inside of ourselves, But we cannot access that if we are dead. It is not so much triumph through struggle, As it is when a person has the realization that one is facing indomitable odds that scream for his death. And how people steel their will to avoid it, Fight it. "How people swing with both fists as they writhe in the mud! " Take the Andes plane of soccer players for example. When it came down to it, The negative moral aspects of cannibalism weighed less heavy than their lives. That! Is what it means to be human. To live no matter the cost, That our lives mean more. No matter the meaning you and I find in life, It shall all be cast to the void when aged death comes for us, Sickle swinging upon his bony shoulder. Before meaning, A human seeks first to exist. How else could he assert meaning into himself and the world? Life. . . Life IS the universal value of humans of individuals of persons. Were I to grip some guy by the throat. Struggle, Fear, A desire to live would emerge. His legs kicking, His arms flailing. In all but the worst cases of humans, As I said, Dysfunctional and malfunctioning. Death is 'a motivator, But the ultimate? Do you really claim that all art, Effort, Enjoyment, And tasting of life is done simply because we are going to die? Hell, We did all that before we even knew the concept of death. I say. . . That all meaning that humans find is existentially related. Even values people have in supposed afterlife's are concepts that can only be found by 'existing. A non existent mind can hardly think of anything. Thus for an individuals meaning to be kept, It can only do so while he exists. When he ceases to exists, All the concepts in his mind cease to exist. Of course one might argue that the people around him keep his memory and actions in their hearts. But those are their hearts, Not his! . He cannot feel satisfaction about that if he is dead! Only by living does meaning exist! Even actions, Genes, And creations are only a man's light thrown a brief distance to dimly flicker before blackness consumes it A final argument before I summarize. That if immortality 'was perceived as achievable, Twould be suicide to not seize upon it. As a man not running to the storm cellar as he beholds a tornado whirling upon him with doom and gloom. Now, To summarize. . . Nah, I'm good, Already said it all above. I'll abstain from making any remarks but thanks and a polls link in round 5, That we might be evened up. https://en. Wikipedia.
