gollark: But the brain runs on not-very-persistent storage, and if you're "dead" too long some kind of cascade failure thing means you're stuck that way.
gollark: Biology: it's very weird and extremely complex.
gollark: Medicine is just very bodgey and unreliable hacky patches to the spaghetti code of life.
gollark: > as bad as it is to say, most of the deaths are people that are only alive from medicine artificially inflating life spans well beyond the designed parameters... is wanting to live longer a bad thing now? There are no "designed parameters" with humans, what with us being weird evolved systems, only "mostly works" ones, and we've been continually pushing those with stuff like, well, medicine.
gollark: The mortality rate of coronavirus is significantly higher than 1% or 2% or whatever if healthcare stuff gets overloaded. Which could happen, and I think is kind of in Italy.
