So, you\'re saying that people who personally don\'t want to live forever are always wrong and irrational, even if they don\'t believe in the afterlife or religion, or is it about people who are simply against transhumanism as a concept? I\'m not very familiar with RatFic, but if it\'s the former, then that does seem like it could get into AuthorTract territory pretty easily if they don\'t take into account simple reasons for not wanting to live forever (like boredom or general misery), and treating them as wrong for it (and that\'s not even getting into the fact that most of the stuff dealing with transhumanism is nothing more than mere speculation).
