I can't say I agree with you, but there is no disputing matters of taste. I
am however curious about what disturbs you; I mean if you don't like the
newfangled ways you could always become the future equivalent of the Amish.
And whatever the future holds you must admit it won't be dull.

It seems unlikely to me that a society that has mastered nanotechnology and
the reanimation problem is unable to master the lion problem.

There are no guarantees in life, you can only play the odds.
