Objectivism says that human mortality is necessary to morality, since life can be the standard of value only because action–a certain kind of action–is required to protect it. Therefore, if we were immortal we wouldn’t need morality to guide us. Does it follow that, according to Objectivism, immortality is immoral or else impossible?
