*smh* They just can't leave nature alone can they.

@Magenta what's wrong with longer lifespan and better health. That's literally the point of medicine. It's a bit hypocritical to complain if you've ever had surgery, used a vaccine or antibiotics.
Magenta · F
@basilfawlty89 Because I believe in the natural process of life. Well you are assuming aren't you. I've never used any of those.

@Magenta appeals to nature are a logical fallacy. Tornadoes are natural, I don't think you'd say they're a good thing.
Magenta · F
@basilfawlty89 Of course we don't like the devastation, but there is a purpose and a reason for them.

P.S. I am huge lover of animals and don't want them to die anymore than anyone, but I am not going to play God.

@Magenta what about yourself and your loved ones. Wouldn't you like more time with your family. I don't understand why people think this is playing God anymore than modern medicine is.

@basilfawlty89 Of course, that goes without saying. But it is only prolonging the inevitable.
Magenta · F
@Magenta And modern medicine is doing exactly that, imo.

@Magenta yes, but what's wrong with prolonging it though? I mean should we instead die in our 20s like in caveman times?
