Life After Cell Death Here’s my idea for a TV show… Its characters are among the first generation of people after a technique for deprogramming cell death has been discovered. They saw the previous generation die of old age, but will not themselves. This change provides some of the emotional drama. Dealing with over-population is also a central issue. In order to stave off catastrophic resource strain, each person must decide whether they wish to have a child or drink the elixir. Given the much-elevated stakes of a fatal accident, all forms of physical violence and carelessness are punishable by death. Safety-related technology is the economy’s main driver.
