Nick Bostroms The Fable of the Dragon Tyrant
Nick Bostom s philosophical parable about death, recounts the tale of the most vicious dragon that ate thousands of people everyday, and of the actions of the king, the people and an assembly of Dragonolgists to destroy this ancient threat. Out situation with regards to human senescence is similar to the situation of the people in the fable in regard to the dragon. Therefore, we have compelling reasons to get rid of human senescence.
