No, the FDA has declared that it will not approve life-extending technology because, according to it, "aging is not a disease."

The answer is in the telomeres

I heard a rumor that Tupac is still alive and well, lounging on some Caribbean island. if you can find him, maybe he can tell you the secret to thwarting death.

In Bible, everyone has ages above 1000.

 

[aureloiz]

It's impossible. You can slow down the aging but that's all.

What's about to transfer your consciousness into robot's body? ... or whatever it's called

You watch too many sci fi movies

Immortal is impossible. But future technologies will prolong life and improve its quality

This is wrong on multiple levels. Strong work.

I almost want to write a short horror story about her being cloned from her cancer cell line thousands of years in the future

If you don’t, I will.

Already in process. Going to use a different name though, as I know her family is touchy (rightfully so) and I wouldn't want them to read something so disturbing about their lost loved one.

I haven’t written a piece of fiction in over a year. I need to get back into it.

I haven't written fiction in many years. The inspiration to do so has escaped me until now.

I published my last piece in early 2016 actually, so it’s been 2 years. Damn.

Maybe.

Transhumanism = ftw

 

[RachelPowell]

Nope, we are not made to live forever. some of the unsuccessful trials practiced by the greatest of scientists include enhancement of protein cells from aging, extending telomeres and much more but in the end what they concluded that aging is not a disease that can be cured. It's a natural phenomena that's going to take place anyway.

 

[deleted480308]

No way. We like cake too much. You ever have cake? Sooooooo much better than immortality

 

[Wallky]

I think it's realistic if you can change your body. But to create an eternal body will not work.
