I finally got around to reading the new transhumanist children’s book Death is Wrong. I was impressed with the simplicity and clarity of the message, and my impression was that children could easily digest the information. It’s about time there was a children’s book promoting the message of indefinite life-extension. This book should be mandatory reading in elementary schools. I was pleased to see that the book gave mention to Aubrey de Grey and SENS Research Foundation. Besides explaining the logical reasons for why death is wrong, I was delighted that the book spoke about the frailness of life and the overwhelming sadness of death. The book also specified the importance of vigilantly avoiding dangerous behaviors which would endanger one’s life, and the importance of taking care of one’s health. I think that message is especially important for young children to hear. The book leaves the reader with the optimistic outlook that death does not have to be inevitable. If we know that death is wrong, then we must wage war on death and never give up until we have won this fight. You can find the book on Amazon here.

Mwishowe niliweza kusoma kitabu kipya cha watoto cha transhumanist Kifo ni Kosa. Nilishangazwa na uwazi na uwazi wa ujumbe huo, na hisia yangu ilikuwa kwamba watoto wangeweza kumeng'enya habari hiyo kwa urahisi. Ni wakati ambapo kulikuwa na kitabu cha watoto kukuza ujumbe wa muda usiojulikana wa maisha. Kitabu hiki kinapaswa kuwa usomaji wa lazima katika shule za msingi. "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika makala ya awali, ""Mwanamke Aubrey de Grey na SENS Research Foundation"" ni pamoja na ""Mwanamke Aubrey de Grey na SENS Research Foundation.""" "Kulingana na maelezo ya sababu za kimantiki kwa nini kifo ni kosa, nilifurahi kwamba kitabu hicho kilizungumzia ""udhaifu wa maisha na huzuni kubwa ya kifo.""" Kitabu hicho pia kilitaja umuhimu wa kuepuka kwa uangalifu tabia hatari ambazo zingehatarisha maisha ya mtu, na umuhimu wa kutunza afya ya mtu. Nadhani ujumbe huu ni muhimu hasa kwa watoto wadogo kusikia. Kitabu hicho humfanya msomaji awe na mtazamo mzuri kwamba kifo si lazima kiwe kisichoweza kuepukika. Kama tunajua kwamba kifo ni kosa, basi ni lazima tufanye vita dhidi ya kifo na tusikate tamaa mpaka tuweze kushinda vita hivi. Unaweza kupata kitabu hicho kwenye Amazon hapa.
