The Evolution of Death is about to change death from a dead subject into a vital one, burgeoning with those concepts and consequences that traditionally arouse curiosity and command attention about life. The problem is that death, like taxes (to take a page from Benjamin Franklin), is thought to be inevitable and unchanging. Remarkably, while belief in the inevitability of many things, such as war, poverty and crime, has slackened in the last few years, belief in the inevitability of death has remained unshaken.
For some evidence of how this is affecting our world, consider that when social security was passed in 1935, at that time the median life expectancy in the US was 54 for women and 46 for men. Now it is in the seventies. What happens medically, socially, institutionality if life expectancy extends to 150 years or perhaps 300?
