<div>Citizen heroics? Selfish geeks? You have it all wrong. Over
a hundred people die every minute. Is that not the most
disgusting and horrid thing you can imagine considering that
with the right effort we could do away with that entirely?</div>

find the villains who stand to profit from suppressing immortality.<br>
<br>
Now how do we similarly reframe other forms of enhancement?<br>
