What about people who have different beliefs me myself im an atheist i dont belie in
heaven or god if a saw realy proof of him then i would but there is better proof
of spiderman than god himself....

I believe we are imortal we just go into a diferent world like the nether/end...

no i think it would take a very long time but you never know :O

Its meant to happen in the next 25 years...we will have technology that will make
us immortal....

Depends on how quickly science develops

its coming along fast believe me..

Look what we have done in the past 20 years.....

i have got to say this answer is abit weird out of them all....

Evolution doesn't determine our average lifespan not nearly as much as the development of modern medicine has. There constantly comes times where a disease evolves to avoid this medicine... you know, the flu shot you get every year.

But anyway, to the question in the OP, the reason you die of old age is because your cells can not continue dividing. Biological immortality can be achieved through enzyme testing that prevents the cessation of cell division, albiet temporarily.

A person who is biologically immortal, however, is equally available to death by disease or injury.

Mind-to-computer uploading
Main article: Mind uploading

One idea that has been advanced involves uploading an individual's personality and memories via direct mind-computer interface. The individual's memory may be loaded to a computer or to a newly born baby's mind. The baby will then grow with the previous person's individuality, and may not develop its own personality. Extropian futurists like Moravec and Kurzweil have proposed that, thanks to exponentially growing computing power, it will someday be possible to upload human consciousness onto a computer system, and live indefinitely in a virtual environment. This could be accomplished via advanced cybernetics, where computer hardware would initially be installed in the brain to help sort memory or accelerate thought processes. Components would be added gradually until the person's entire brain functions were handled by artificial devices, avoiding sharp transitions that would lead to issues of identity. After this point, the human body could be treated as an optional accessory and the mind could be transferred to any sufficiently powerful computer. Another possible mechanism for mind upload is to perform a detailed scan of an individual's original, organic brain and simulate the entire structure in a computer. What level of detail such scans and simulations would need to achieve to emulate consciousness, and whether the scanning process would destroy the brain, is still to be determined.[28] Whatever the route to mind upload, persons in this state would then be essentially immortal, short of loss or traumatic destruction of the machines that maintained them. Time's futurists, as well as Dmitry Itskov, head of the 2045 Initiative (an international project attempting to reach the goal of technological immortality) predict that this technology will be available by 2045

See that's cool and all, but if the body dies, you're not immortal. It's just a backup of you... without a body.
