Comment Death: The Great Equalizer (Score -1) 37
Evolution rewards those who preserve their lives longest, passing on their genes to the most offspring. Due to this, our actions and behaviours are influenced by our need to survive more than we could ever imagine. Now with the ability to replicate organs, we stand at the brink of our ultimate goal eternal life.
Without the grim reaper breathing down our necks, how will we react? Will we strive to help others, or give in to our basest desires? For example, many people like fatty, sugary food, although we (unless giant fatties) limit our intake so that our organs don't fail. This way, we can go on to make babies and spread our genes. If we no longer have to fear death, what shall tell us to tame our indulgences?
