This short film by Jason Silva makes a compelling case for why the greatest peril of all – death – must be defeated by scientific and medical means. Mr. Silva interviews a variety of leading immortalist thinkers, including the eminent and ingenious inventor Ray Kurzweil. He eloquently makes the point that reconciling oneself to death via religion and the philosophy of resignation is not the best approach to follow. The time for reconciliation is past; the time for resistance has arrived. We can be among the first generations of immortals if each of us contributes to the life extension effort in some manner – or at least ceases to resist it.
