I read this short story in an anthology, most likely in the 80s, possibly in the 90s. The setting is a future in which the living no longer fear death. One consequence of that is that they are disinterring cemeteries to recover the land and (possibly) cremating the remains. The protagonist is ...

I wonder if they have ever indicated sophistication like this, knowing that they need humans for breeding, they might, for example prevent a hull breech in space, etc.?

Here is a picture from the website and I am wondering what is it?

I can't remember whether this was a novel, a short story, or a series of two or three stories. It's been decades since I read it, or them, and I can remember only fragments. There's a scene on a spaceship, in which an older man is finally dying of some awful disease. The symptoms are liver-spots...
