This isn't an article about longevity, it's an attack piece on men.

It really is extremely sexist against both men and women.

If the creation of human life is so easy to do, should we waste that much resources in making some of us immortal?

Also this article is more about why men are evil wanting to do so.

Using the same logic why should we spend that much resources on doctors? Just make more humans - some of them will be healthy.

Hmm you are partially right. Doctors make sense because healing someone is still cheaper than creating a new human and raising+educate it. Still my logic does not fully apply here.

Ironically, if immortality existed and was ubiquitous, it would be the very thing that would drive us to extinction due to the lack of genetic variability.

How did you arrive to that conclusion?
