Deathism is a particular ideology that I believe should be resisted with all possible means - yes, it's a group of people who share that ideology, and yes i'm making blanket statements about that group - but that's because the ideology itself is a dangerous one.

When I say it is a dangerous ideology I mean that quite literally. The spread of deathism in popular culture directly impedes campaigns to fund aging research and life extension in general and the more we delay a cure for aging the more people will die as a result.

The death positive movement is on paper a good thing based on the stated definition, but in reality it attracts and helps to promote deathism, and that is the problem I am talking about in this post.
