so, when do you want to die, then?

really, i’m not trying to be mean here. you assert life must be finite, and all i’m asking is how finite it should be.

While I am all for immortality, an oft given answer I've seen is, when I can no longer support myself, physically. That means old and frail and unable to walk or move.

With immortality though could also come anti aging, so I'm not sure how strong that answer really is.

Life is not life without death. Personally, I don’t necessarily want to die, I love to live. But also, death is the only thing that makes life precious.

I don't agree at all. That's like saying the world is only beautiful because it will one day be consumed by the sun. I love my life, and it isn't because I'm going to die.

That is just people making meaning out of life experience. Fundamentally, there's nothing about death that make life precious.

> death is the only thing that makes life precious.

No. Living is what makes life precious. Good memories, good food, good friends, good lovers, good music… if it’d be possible to continue living forever, until you decide you want to take your chances on the existence of an afterlife, it’ll be no less precious than it is now, when nature just takes life from you against your will.
