Chapter 411 (1/2)

For a long time, recalling her mother's funeral, Xu Mengfei was uncomfortable. Xu Mengfei felt that such a ceremony lacked respect for the dead.

But Fang Tianxing told her that people's grief and happiness are not interlinked, there is no need to force others to be as sad as themselves. There are not many intersecting people, why do you ask others to be sad for your sadness.

Xu Mengfei was surprised and recalled her mother's funeral. Suddenly she had a different feeling. When Xu Mengfei's mother died, she didn't have much contact with those relatives. For those people watching the funeral, it's not very different from seeing whose wife to marry. It's not hard to understand.

What did Xu Mengfei think at that moment? Seeing that her mother was sent to the incinerator, she even showed relief. This is a relief for her mother as well as for herself. If others saw her smile, what would they think?

Those elders perform according to the procedures at funerals. Some of them are very old. They have experienced too many similar occasions. They know that it is human nature to live, old and die. The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Even one day after that, they will become the protagonists of the funeral.

Instead of mourning for the coming death, we should do more while we are still alive, instead of feeling sad when we are dying.

Today in the 23rd century, people are actually very close to the goal of immortality, but no one dares to publicly pierce this layer of window paper. Federal laws explicitly prohibit the research and application of immortality technology. There are various reasons for the prohibition. The most important thing is that people dare not imagine how to live after immortality.

Do immortal people still need to have children to carry on the family line? I'll never die. If I have another immortal child, I'm afraid the world will soon be full of people and become a disaster.

On this road of immortality, the biggest obstacle is not technology, but in terms of ethics and social politics. After the emergence of immortality technology, it must be easier for the rich to get it. The main problem is how to spend the new era of inequality and achieve new equality once there are many undead rich people in human society.

In society, the inequality in wealth and power status of human beings is only the difference between people, but ordinary people are just like the difference between people and immortals when facing the rich who will not die. Even if this inequality appeared in ancient times, it may not be tolerated by the society at that time, let alone the modern society which regards fairness and freedom as the supreme.

Let some people get the chance of immortality first, which may bring unpredictable social disaster, and banning this technology seems to be killing the infinite possibility of human future.

When a person is immortal, he is no longer an ordinary person in the past. He has shed the shell of society and become a person who can exist independently.

In his past, he was first a human being, then himself. In other words, he was a little different based on the paradigm of human life. In other words, he had to live before he could be himself. Otherwise, the love and hatred of a dead person would be meaningless.

But when he lives forever, he doesn't have to travel around for life, he becomes himself, an independent individual in the universe, rather than a member of a certain planet in the solar system.

If he likes science, he has an endless life to study it. If he likes literature, he also has an endless life to write and even epic.

He doesn't have to eat, just like an immortal who creates a valley, he doesn't get old, neither does he live nor die, nor is he dirty and unclean. Get a higher level of freedom and freedom.
