Whaddup. This is a response video to TED-Ed's "If superpowers were real: Immortality - Joy Lin". Here I will try do dispute the shitty points TED-Ed made against immortality and explain why I think their video was harmful for human progress in general.

I sincerely believe that widespread acceptance of death from aging-related causes is a terrible thing we must get rid of. I want to live a very long and fulfilling life and to me dying due to no fault of my own is extremely unfair. My reasoning is this: if we are actively preventing murder, plane crashes and diseases, why not work to prevent the most common genetic disorder - aging?
