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.

We would not need a human body we can have are thought are feeling put into a computer then eventually a robot and we will just be DNA based robots.....

Yes that is very true it is always happening...

With all of the advances in medicine and technology, I believe that we will eventually expand our life span to around 160 years tops.

True we are evolving really fast in the science and technology
part of humanity.......

in a thew hundred years we will have no neck are arms will be down to are ancles
and are heads 3x the size!!!

the question is....IS IT ALREADY HAPPENING?

and when we reach the point of finding away of freezing are age + body development!!

Interesting but:

Do you have anything to back this up?
