Well, death usually occurs because of a critical system failure in one of the primary organs. Heart stops pumping, brain stops sending commands, etc. If science can find a way to reverse the damage done to the organ, theoretically the body would survive. Obviously, it would have to occur before any decomposition starts, but other than, it's possible in theory.

Even dying of "natural causes" is just because something stopped working in the middle of the night. If we can figure out a way to stop the wear and tear on our organs, we could theoretically live forever.

Whether or not these are good ideas is another question, but all that's stopping us right now is that we haven't figured out how to do it yet.

@DMDawson Yeah, we have a long way to go before humanity is ready to deal with those repercussions the right way. I'm not saying it's a good idea, I'm just saying the problem isn't as complicated as it sounds.

@FaeLuna 👍

@DMDawson That specific invention , It's not going to be for all of us.

And powerful people and politicians will find a way to deal with the population.

In practice, basically. Technically, our current understanding suggests that it can't.

No. Used to be thought if you freeze the body…however it’s not true.

They could make clones of a person, but that's not quite the same as individual immortality.

We could be made immortal, but then how long would we last before we either got really bored or something zapped us?

Body can't but soul can. But it is beyond science.

Never
Death is one of those unchanged facts

@SW-User If we were immortal, life wouldn't be so beautiful and poignant. This experience would be endless and joyless.
