Yeah, I'd say it's practically inevitable we'll be able to conquer death unless we destroy ourselves before that. Our technology advances at an exponential rate. Theoretically, there will be a point where it will advance so rapidly we won't be able to keep up with it (a point called the Singularity). Some people predict it happening fairly soon even. It's impossible to know what life would be like after that, but we would most likely be able to immortalize ourselves. It wouldn't be a problem either since space colonization could be achieved.

One of my favorite short stories deals with this. It's Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question" and it's a very interesting read.

Listen to me. Immortality is the worst possible thing you can imagine. There is a reason Death exists. We are meant to die and start a new life. If we continue to live forever, what is the point of living.

Death is true. Death is fact. You cannot escape. You cannot hide. You must. Choose wisely, live kindly. Life cannot exist without Death. Pain is what to expect from Life, and happiness is what to expect from Death. Death is always there. No matter what you do, it will be lingering by your side, waiting to take you. It will bring you amazing adventures and new beginnings. Embrace it. Embrace Death. Embrace a new life.

If all of Society was immortal, we would have company. I mean, think of what you will be missing when you are six feet deep.

You would miss the birth of your descendants.
The discovery of a new world.
What about Grand Theft Auto 15?
What about the ability of time travel?



When you die, you will miss a lot of things you left and the things you wanted to discover.

Lots of people are saying that death will bring happiness and everything. How would they now if they haven't died? Did they come back from the dead?


I used to think when I was younger, when we die, we would be reborn in our future great-great-great-great -grand children

I really question if that will happen.

I also wonder if when we die, and we are reborn in our future descendants, will we ever keep our memories from our previous bodies?

You are not meant to!

Think of what you will be missing in death.

Do you remember what you were like in 1546?

Well ... I'm a religious person myself and i believe in inmortality ... but for this case .. i would like to use Tolkien's words from my favourite book, The Silmarillion:

"It is one with this gift of freedom that the children of Men dwell only a short space in the world alive, and are
not bound to it, and depart soon whither the Elves know not. Whereas the Elves remain until the end of days, and their
love of the Earth and all the world is more single and more poignant therefore, and as the years lengthen ever more
sorrowful"

and this is the best part ....

"Death is their fate (men's), the gift of Ilúvatar, which as Time wears even the Powers shall envy"

no, there should be no-one who is immortal. I'm mostly looking at the religious view here.

If i didn't believe in religion I'd probably think its a cool idea.

To live is to die.
