Is end of life care better or worse now than before?
Depends on who's paying for it
Better now, maybe. The people in palliative care are drugged heavily if their condition is painful. I suppose it's different in different places.
The best selfish reason to be good to your children is that they might put you in care. It's better if you can age and die at home unless you have a really nasty death.
Isn't this the plot of the Matrix?
Depends if you go with the original idea, or the battery idea designed by Hollywood execs who didn't think the audiences would understand.
... thus proving that Hollywood execs and the people they make their changes for are only good for batteries*, but I digress.
* For legal reasons, this is a joke. I have to say this because some Hollywood execs have more lawyers than braincells**.
** For all the same reasons, this is also a joke.
Well, the Matrix was a huge success despite being dumb, so they seem to have made a smart decision.
Sure, having something Thermodynamically accurate instead of just acting like humans created heat out of nothing (or out of food that was unproduceable from some source that couldn't give machine energy) would have made me more satisfied with the movie.
But would I have paid more for it?
