   These scientists are typically looking for some cure for human death.   
   God help us if they ever discover it - imagine the likes of Mitch   
   McConnell and Donald Trump endowed with immortality.  Imagine the same   
   for lots of other public figures, movie stars, and the jackasses you   
   meet on the road each day as you drive to work.   
      
   Death is here for a reason - I say we should celebrate it.
