    Okay, but this isn’t the 1400s

    These days people recognize a death sentence as an injustice that can be stopped.

        Sure, but that’s the point - a death sentence isn’t certain death anymore, so saying this milestone is a death sentence is completely accurate.

        Or do you think these scientists actually meant “we are all 100% going to die”?

            Do you actually think this scientist was trying to say “there is no hope we’re all going to die”?

            If that’s the case, the only thing left is revenge.

            That’s going to be a lot uglier than self defense.
