Some of your problems solve each other. If people get bored and want to kill themselves at 90, then why would we have overpopulation problems?

Other things you assert based on your own intuitions people don't have to agree with. Why should I accept that a world full of people living indefinitely would suck? No one I know is dying and I'm pretty fucking happy about that and I don't see why I'd want my friends to start dying.
