Instructions: This is your second great debate. When debating, I want your educated opinion backed up with at least 1 citation. If you are the FIRST person to post in your group, simply write your entry with citations as below. If you are not the first person to post, make sure that you read and respond by NAME to at least one other post in the group as a part of your post. Write at least 75 words not including the reference(s) at the bottom of the post. Using APA style, add the reference(s) in the text and below the post as I have done here. If you write a post that meets all instructions, you receive full points. If you do not, you receive zero points. You will lose a point for typos/grammar errors or unclear writing. You will receive one extra point if your post is outstanding. Topic: “When we imagine life without death, we imagine that we would just keep on doing what we’re doing indefinitely. However, when we look at ourselves from an evolutionary perspective it is actually death that drives life. Without the threat of death we would not be what we are. All of our experiences and activities have evolved from the need to gather energy. Life is the drive to sustain our energy and fend off death. Without the existence of death none of these activities would be necessary. All of our needs originate from the avoidance of death. Without death there would be no need to sleep, to wake up or even to breathe. Without the need for food and security there would be no reason to work, no reason to move at all, really. We would have no need to build, to create or to develop technologies. Without a need for relationships or creativity, communication would not be necessary. There would be no languages, no songs, no stories and no religions” (Sombrofsky, 2007). What does all this mean to you??? What is your opinion about life without death? As a society, do we strive for this eventuality? New treatments and drugs; stopping the aging process. Are these efforts to eliminate death? References Sombrofsky, H. (2007, November 9).
