I am amazed at the mix of what I'd consider "mortal sins" (such as taking or dealing in drugs, paedophilia, and social injustices that cause poverty) and what I personally don't even think are undesireable in lots of cases (such as abortion, accumulation of wealth, and engaging in “manipulative” genetic science). Anyhow, there's a small chance that those "evil" scientists engaging in “manipulative” genetic science might work out a gene therapy that slows or reverses the biological aging process within my lifespan - in which case the whole question of "life after death" becomes irrelevant.
