Will there ever be a cure for the illness we call Death?

Answer 1

No!

Answer 2

Death is not an illness just a result. Ageing is the illness.
Some say no and some say yes to the cure.

Answer 3

Death is not an illness. An illness is something you may or may not encounter and may or may not recover from - once you're dead there ain't no coming back.

If you are asking if we will ever beat death - very much doubt it. We are (for the want of a better word) machines whose parts have a very finite life span, too many parts to replace all of them through transplants, possibilities with stem cells etc. If we have any success there will be just as many set backs.

Answer 4

Death does not make sense, think of your life as run by an energy source called the soul, the body is a machine that allows your soul to function and interact with others yet your soul cannot join to another soul only through the body. A man and woman are the only souls that can join for a breith part of time and that is only when producing another soul. You will never completely die but I cant answer as to where you go when your body packs up. A better understanding of quantum Physics is required for that

Answer 5

in my view, firstly death does not deserve a capital "d". secondly, death is how a population self-regulates, and makes sure the young find space to grow in. thirdly, the young will tend to carry more favourable traits thanks to evolution - if you didn't have death, you wouldn't have evolution.

if, say, tomorrow someone invented an anti-death drug (hopefully also preventing aging or else it could turn pretty ugly), then the only way out would be a planned state with either never new citizens (babies), or else babies being allowed only on the basis on people dying in accidents, or of finding volunteers who'd agree to stop taking the drug in order to die.

and on top of that, the species would stop evolving altogether. So instead of being super-smart alien-like creatures with huge brains in a couple dozen million years, we'd still be the pretty dumb human beings we are today.

bottom-line, death is good for the species. Which doesn't mean it is easy to take when a loved one decays, then dies.

Hope this helps

Answer 6

Death is a cure for life, especially when life is full of illnesses.

Answer 7

The only part of death which cannot yet be prevented is brain death,they can repair or replace or keep going artificially just about everything else but as yet not the brain;but maybe in the future that may be possible.
Anyway how boring would that be ,to live forever !

Answer 8

I don't think this is possible. Death is a destiny for all lives and the ability of the body to regenerate life cells reduces as the body age increases. Look at this way, death is a mercy for new generation, otherwise they won't find places to live in or food to eat.

Answer 9

no because for every disease and illness we cure a new one will evolve thats what all living things do to survive, plus if no1 died the planet would be over run and every 1 would starve. i know it is cruel but we have to have death so the human race can survive. sorry it was prob not the answer u wanted but seriously think about it it is true.

Answer 10

The purpose of birth is death . . . everything in between is called, "Life".

Some cultures believe that death isn't an illness or an end, but a transition to another plane of existence.

Answer 11

I doubt it highly. Ageing is a natural process. It involves so many different things. Just using a first examples that come to mind - in males the prostate grows larger - hence the increased rate of Cancer in men around 65. The thymus gland shrinks after adolescence. There's the loss of skeletal muscle etc.

There would need to be a cocktail of drugs to solve these and the many other changes that happens to the body caused by age...
