Even today there are a few things that you can do to postpone the
inevitable. You are not likely to do them if you like the idea of death.
Nor will *believing* in
>immortality inundate you from death, or will it?
You must be using a definition of the verb "to inundate" that I can't find
anywhere, which makes your question hard to answer.
I have found transhuman
>thinking quite appealing due to its optimism and "will do" stance; but
>for now these are dreams.
There is such a thing as practice - a whole range of actions - from taking
life extension drugs to signing up for, and supporting research in, cryonic
suspension.
I have to agree with Bill: you're not doing
>Transhumanism a favor by pouncing at people, even less by putting yourself
>above any debate.
Transhumanism needs no evangelist. It stands on its own merits. Unlike
weaker ideologies - it requires no faith, and everyone doesn't have to
"believe" in it for it to work.

I find death-romance quite "anti-human".
