READING #7

try to make things which will last forever, and even want to live forever themselves. But the 2

man knows very well that it is a waste of labor to make a machine that will last ten years, because it will probably be superseded in half that time by an improved machine 3

the same purpose. He also knows that if somebody were to convince us that our dream of personal immortality is no dream but a hard 4

, such a shriek of despair would go up 5

the human race as no other conceivable horror could provoke. We 6

he sees death approach, he gets into bed and sends for a doctor. He knows very 8

 at the back of his conscience that he is rather a poor job and 9

 be remanufactured. He knows that his 10

will make room for a birth.
