Scared not to die. Soon they may have the tech to keep you living forever, or bring you back if you do die digitally.

I shouldn't admit this but what the heck. I have slowly (key word: slowly) been writing a book and that's basically what it's about. A scientist discovers a way to keep people alive more or less indefinitely, barring accidents, but he realizes that if he just gave it out to the world we'd use up all of the earth's resources instantly and it would be terrible. Not to mention that the benefits of staying alive indefinitely are not as great as people imagine them to be, either for individuals or for society. It's a bunch of tortured moralizing. :)
