Description

Distribution
gollark: Yes, but death is very bad.
gollark: Historically, basically all technologies have gotten increasingly cheap and widespread over time.
gollark: Probably the fancier new tools are counterbalanced by low-hanging fruit being gone.
gollark: If people want it enough (which is not guaranteed, since people can do *ridiculous* moralizing about death), and technology keeps progressing, it will happen.
gollark: But the existence of very long-lived animals does show that it is in principle possible.
