And what's wrong with wanting things?
Life is no fun if you don't have anything to make it fun.
I don't need to collect things, but I do. Why? Because I want to and it's fun.
Life is boring if you only go be needs.
Needs are just food, water, clothing, and shelter anyway.

Modern Medicine = More people = Overcrowded Earth = Bad

More people living life is bad? I'm sorry, but the more people who live is good.
I don't think it's the technology so much as it is the people.
It's granted that some of it does make people lazy.
But, who cares? Why should you? Computers are also making people lazy yet here you are using one.
My point is, if someone wants to be lazy then they should be lazy all they want to be.
I'm lazy and I like being lazy. Why? Because I want to be lazy. I have fun lounging and doing nothing. I get sick by being outside too much on account of I'm sensitive to the weather and I'm photophobic (light sensitive).

And it rots your brain. So, yeah, let's replace a dying person with a stupid person who probably isn't going to live much longer anyway.
My aunt had cancer, I would not have liked it if she had taken that. Wanna know what she died from?
It was Pneumonia.
Also, I happen to like modern medicine A LOT.
If it wasn't for it, I might have gotten into an accident.
I've got Narcolepsy which can be life threatening on account of I tend to get drowsy and at times I fall asleep at random.
If I were walking down stairs and had an episode, I could die.
However, this is only if I don't take my meds.
Also I have migraines, nocturnal seizures, cataplexy, POTS Syndrome, a wide variety of phobias, paranoia, gallbladder problems, a problem with a cyst on my ovary which results in random cramps, and thick blood.
Granted I'm nowhere near as bad off as my cousin, who is almost 30 and has to walk with a walker - who had no idea what was wrong with her because her doctors were too stupid to figure it out way up North so she had to come down South to get tests run - the same I got - turns out we have similar problems, but hers is worse.
Why? Because it's not a well-known medical problem. It was only discovered after a large donation was made by Ronald Reagan so further advancement could be made on neurological problems (Reagan got Alzheimer's, that was one reason why).
So, without modern medicine, I'd be in a bed all day, having morning hallucinations all the time, migraines, paralyzed upon waking, too sick to stand up because all I see are bright blinding lights, I could never go outside, blood clotting, I'd probably be fat too (on account of migraine medication I took had a side-effect where you lose weight and your appetite), and I would always be too sick to go anywhere but never too sick to die.
That would be horrible for me. So I am thankful for modern technology.
Also because... my father has Epilepsy. Do you know what they used to do to epileptics?
One thing, I saw once, a woman got buried alive because they thought she was dead - when really, she just had an attack.
My Nanny has a form of Narcolepsy, she would always get yelled at constantly for falling asleep all the time even though she couldn't help it.
Not all the ways of the old were good, you know.
Not all the ways of the new are good either.
It is a combination of the two. Somethings were better in the old days. Somethings are better in the new.
I've got a lot of family, all of whom I'd like to keep seeing.
Esp. considering a cancer gene we found not to long ago. My father had it, turns out he had cancer as well.
Thanks to modern medicine though, they got rid of it. And by that I mean they cut out his thyroid. So now he has to take medicine to function as his thyroid.
There is a lot of useless technology, I'll admit that. However, who am I to say what a person can and cannot have?
They are they and I am I.
I have no right to deny them their pleasures in life. Unless it could harm someone else that is or someone I care about.
