One possible route is to find a way to constantly replace the ends of the tellameres in your cells. But that wouldn't necessarily prevent the ware and tear on your organs and bones and stuff, you'd need solutions for that too, such as replacement parts for cartiledge and the elastin in your arteries. We can now, only within the last year, replace the elastin. The rest is far in the future, if we can figure out how those processes in the body work.

If humans achieved immortality, it would be a disaster. We would have to stop breeding; there would be very little change in the world, and there would probably be a fundamental change in the cycle of maintenance of the homeostatic state. Someone would eventually itch for change and take out all the other humans who had outlived their welcomes and our reproductive facility would be so atrophied that we'd have a hard time building up the population again...just a thought, but it doesn't hurt to strive for such a thing--just so we don't actually get there!

Well.., too bad fo u, its impossible. Our cells duplicate, n get older everyday. Its similar to a recording tape, where it will become less clear when copied from the original, n less less clear when bein duplicated from the 1st copy.., n so on.. Well, dats how our cells duplicate, so its impossible. The only way, perhaps is to live young, exercise n live a happy life, where yer brain will tell u dat ur still young, n it could decreased your chances of having mucle ache, migrain, and many other aging disease, hahax..

No, not yet. For today death is still the only thing that makes all the people equal and I wouldn't like it to be changed...
However some people (like Walt Disney) payed lots of money to have their bodies frozen with liquid nitrogen after their death, believing that in future people will be able to bring them back to life. To me it's waste of money, because freezing kills humans' cells by creating micro pieces of ice that perforates them from inside.

It doesn't matter. We don't want immortality. People think they do but they don't. Eventually you would beg to be able to die. You couldn't of course, because you're immortal. What a terrible curse

No, technology won`t help you. Our technology is still too primitive for this kind of thing. Try meditation, if you`re successful you may win the nobel :)

mechanical senescence will do us all in eventually. Programmed senescense can probably be avoided, eventually.
