Would you rather be seen as a person who did their duty or who forged their own path?

[Rayblon]

Personally I want to be seen as a trailblazer. Someone who made a big difference in the world.

I'd agree with you, Rayblon. Or in simpler terms, I'd like to do both. I want to make a difference. It may not be big, but I want it to be something worth life. I could give life to a child who makes a big difference, or keep someone from committing suicide that ends up making a big difference.

I want to end natural death. That is my goal in life... until I complete that goal... but I have other ideas too.

Ending natural death would have some interesting implications.  The idea is the double-edged cornerstone of so many dystopian sci-fi futures.

For one take on potential solutions/implications, watch the movie "Logan's Run" if you haven't already.

Funny: I first typed 'distopian' instead of the proper spelling and Firefox rightfully told me it was incorrect.  It's only suggestion for correction was "pianist".  Not sure what that was about.  Of course, it thinks dystopian is wrong, too.

Google chrome knows better.

Since half of our problems are genetic... Yes, it means we can't allow people to have children, constantly finding ways to innovate is important too... It's a very fragile balance to be achieved.
