Death is when you stop living. When the body is no longer able to function. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't know if anything happens after death, because I've never (to my knowledge) died before, but that's what the actual event of death is.

There are ways being researched of postponing death by creating extreme longevity in humans (hundreds of years), by deactivating or modifying the gene that controls aging, but other than that, I don't know of any ways to prevent death.

That's pretty deep, too.

Then, of course, you need to remember body parts have wear and tear and you cannot 100% control how one grows, it's too dangerous and if something goes wrong (you go through a second puberty at age 85) you're screwed.

But why live life without the thought that there is something beyond? Would you not be happier thinking of a loved one's soul passing on and that one day you can meet them again rather than "they're in the ground lol"?

I think this best illustrates the answer to the question as to why people believe in an afterlife. Whether or not there is one is irrelevant--it's much more comforting to most people to think that you'll still be able to think, feel, and exist even if the rest of your body no longer functions.

Personally, I'd rather hurt my Experience rank and just S rank the rest by picking McCain. :)
