I don't look at death as a choice, so much as an inevitability.....
I know the transhumanist attitudes get poo-pooed around here as the "rapture for nerds". But I hold out a slim hope for functional biological or digital immortality, or some combination of both, and perhaps a second lifetime/career of being a spaceship or something.
I agree the odds are long for a slew of reasons, but with the progression of technology, I don't think it's a zero-chance anymore.
