Is longetivity a solvable problem?

Elon Musk says that we are all pre-programmed to die as the body grows old and breaks down. If we change the program, he says, we will live longer. Musk thinks it is a solvable problem. What do you think?

Life forms (animals & plants) die when they can no longer process hydrogen.

A life form (the body) does die but does the person (i.e. you) also die?

Of course you die when your lifeform dies. Why do you believe in zombies? How many have you seen in your lifetime?

1 Corinthians 15:13-19 (TLB) = "13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ must still be dead. 14 And if he is still dead, then all our preaching is useless and your trust in God is empty, worthless, hopeless; 15 and we apostles are all liars because we have said that God raised Christ from the grave, and of course that isn’t true if the dead do not come back to life again. 16 If they don’t, then Christ is still dead, 17 and you are very foolish to keep on trusting God to save you, and you are still under condemnation for your sins; 18 in that case, all Christians who have died are lost! 19 And if being a Christian is of value to us only now in this life, we are the most miserable of creatures."

Be sure to let us know when some zombies visit you.

No, I don't believe in zombies.

Shades of Ladygrace! Are you a believer also?

I don't believe in zombies of the western kind but there is an aspect of life force that can manifest beyond death of the body. Zen. "Sword of Desperation" speculates how this force can be summoned.
