Can science ever conquer death ?

(If it is considered a bad thing)

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.

@FaeLuna Earth's population would have to be dealt with if people stopped dying or lived significantly longer.

@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.

@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.
