OK, you've actually asked two quesitons, so I'm going to give you 2 answers ok?
1)The cause of aging is when DNA/RNA doesn't copy correctly- and mistakes show up which are then copied. The average human has been copied 7 times every 7 years from the time they are born to the time they are 49 years old.
2)The second reason is God put a limit on how long we live as a favor to humans, really. Could you imagine living to be as old as Methusula at 959 years with todays stresses, commutes, job hunting, children, death, wars, technology that you thought was cool 600 years ago is now recycled from the dump?
We now live long enough to learn, have kids, grow up and old to know our kids as adults, then die.

Because the organisation and cohesive energies needed to perpetuate life are unsustainable. Life is only a moment of order within a chaotic universe - a pattern that appears for a while like a face in the clouds or an angel that dances in a fire - and then dissolves back in to the natural order of chaos. Life is only a measure of what remains after ever-increasing entropy is deducted from the living system. And eventually, all that is left is the complete and irreversible stillness of organic death.

Living things succumb to natural and also to unnatural death for man to understand the changing and the impermanency of this world. Just imagine, how much more would man attach to this grasp of dust if there was no death!
As a rational being with an eternal soul, man is supposed to seek for the knowledge of his Creator and to return to his spiritual station as ordained by the All-Bountiful God.

All things born, have a programmed time of death, a time at which the body will fail, save an accident that precedes this event. Birth is the beginning of death. How "fatalistic", but that is what I saw on a scientific program on TV and tend to agree.

Romans 5:12 "...through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned..." God gives us the answer in that death is the direct result of sin. That is why Jesus came to die as a perfect to meet the requirements of death and therefpre bring life to all mankind.

For approximately the same reason cars do, eventually something essential gets old and breaks.

All living things have a life (or death) expectancy....depends how you look at it.
Everything is born to die.

There are many theories, and you are not going to find any of them in this category.
