Entitled? I have to earn life? There's no such thing as deserving life. We're all just a collection of atoms that just so happen to be self-aware. Life is nothing but our perception of a weird quirk of existence. Whether it's egotism that I want to live forever is irrelevant. I don't have to justify my desiring life. The simple fact that I want to live forever is as much justification as I need.
