I've often thought of this notion in accordance with people who would have been killed by the natural processes of nature had medical technology not intervened. I believe that mankinds' ability to manipulate its environment may eventually be the downfall for him, for each time we retain someone who most certainly would have died of illness, we give them the opportunity to spread whatever problem it is they have to someone else through means of procreation.
For some reason, humanity has placed a large emphasis on life itself, that somehow the notion of dying must necessarily be worse than being alive, that anyone can mitigate any horrendous act by saying "yeah, but at least you aren't dead."
Granted, I do not look forward to death, nor do I dread it. What it brings I must necessarily accept, and perhaps it will be the grandest party, or perhaps it will be the most hellish experience ever endured. Either way, while I'm here I intend to have a good time, and to live honestly so that if I am to be held culpable by anyone or anything I can genuinely say that I believed what I believed because I thought it was so to the best of my knowledge.
Regardless, the inevitable will eventually find all that are human, and sometimes the fight for life might be best left unfought; we merely delay what will inexorably come, and whether it be 60 years or 10 years, in the words of Einstein, "Time is merely a figament of the imagination".
