sunday night

had dinner at china town and did some grocery shopping at the asian market
studying now...
have midterm tomorrow.

and when i was like studying and all of the sudden, i thought about "what will happen after I die"
and i totally got depressed....

it's unavoidable and yeh... it's like a long sleep, not long but an eternal sleep
scary!

the world will just go on with one more body decomposing. yup that's death.


and i searched a bit on the web for some insights about death
and there're some promising technology that can possibly avoid death almost completely
and here is one particular question i came up if the technology becomes available:
-if death is avoidable, then what is the meaning of life?
you see, if there's no death then what is life?
we'll have to come up with a completely different definition for life if we're able to avoid death.

in biological sense,
since death is avoidable, all alleles will remain in the population forever
maybe one day, life will be define as "an introduction of new alleles into a population"?
