They have already made organs, I have seen a lung and heart made from cells growing. And they work. The heart beats by itself and the lung breaths my itself. It's now on a show called NovaNow: Can We Live Forever?

It might be possible to become immortal through science, but that doesn't mean that we couln't die. If you were to even live 200 years with science modifying your organs you would eventually get into an accident that will kill you. Immortality does NOT mean you CAN'T die!

Immortality is quite impossible. You can extend the life of humans indefinitely but you can't make them true immortals. This is from a guy who is 447 years old.

If I got to choose I would say no. All the energy in the Earth would take only maybe 7 large 2000 person ships. That means at the end of the World and people left behind would drift in space FOREVER.

Regularly repairing damage so that one effectively stopped aging wouldn't keep a person from still contracting deadly diseases and certainly not prevent deadly accidents or murder. There would still be death in this world from all the same things that have always caused it, minus aging. But it would change and draw out the pace of life. There's a line from the 'Red Mars' trilogy. "When you expect to live another 200 years you behave very differently then when you expect to live only 20".

@homelesshobitt I know i just agree with you. Reply can be supportive, dismissive and neutral

[homelesshobitt]

@AlekSensej A point I will not argue, I was just pointing out to GlassCPU was that his definition of immortal was wrong.

[AlekSensej]

@homelesshobitt Everything is mortal. Nothing in this world of ours is immortal.

Immortality is word that denotes a being that has been living for a very long period of time. Let's say you have a person that lived hundreds of years. That person how ever is not immortal he just lived a long time.

[homelesshobitt]

@GlassCPU That is exactly what Immortal means.

Adjective:

Living forever; never dying or decaying.

[MDEMONIC689]

Theres a theory that hydrogen atoms in the universe will completely decay within the next 100 billion years and possibly all other atoms, of course all suns and planets will be gone by then, but i'm saying there is a point where even if you can live without planets and stars you might still have a really bad day where all your atoms explode.

The only percievable way around that would be to escape the actual universe and go to another one (if another one exists) somehow.

I agree not to start a war with with, sadly now you need to make that understood with the rest of the world. Pointless fight. I mean, what would be more pointless,stupid and idiotic then starting a war that makes people die over the issue of whether people should die or not!

Also, I plan on jumping of your "Death" train as I"m the generation that will get to see the rise of immortality happen.

The Idea of not existing after "Death" does not sound very appealing to me.

@GlassCPU if we can reverse engineer the brain - we can 'save' our mind - upload it to a cloud. The body breaks; grow/make a new one and install your memories.
