Not really. People get old, they get worn out or sick, and then they die. And those are the lucky ones that don't fall off a ladder and break their neck in their 30s.

People are just increasingly lacking in stoicism about natural death, at the same time, as they've made an Olympic sport out of abortion, euthanasia, and frankensteinian methods for reproduction.

They want to decide who lives and who dies, so that they can be gods.
