Question

How at present are we very near to the egde of death

Answer 1

Honestly, we are not very far away from death as you say, since we are taking our earth to such a state. To be honest, we are nearing the end, and are really fast at it too.... Our earth has become really fragile due to all that we have done to it,starting from digging up plants from their roots to global warming... We are actually closer to death than ever, irrespective of whether we are 6 or 60. Today, babies are born with physical disabilities which definitely want unheard of, some 50-100 years back...
