The end of opportunity cost
LAGuy's presumptive friend Ron Bailey opines that ending death is a good thing. Among other things, all the farms can go back to nature, because we'll be able to feed ourselves so efficiently we won't need all that land. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,6-2123870,00.html
Maybe. Why that's important, I don't know, since once we transcend biology, biology becomes much less important. Nature, schmature.
More to the point, once you no longer face time constraints, you know longer face choices. You can try everything, or at least an approximation of it. Maybe I should watch Groundhog Day again for clues.

For the record, I've met him a couple of times, but "friend" is a bit strong.
I once saw him on a panel where he did a good job against those on the left and right who were quite impatient for us all to die.
