Once science allows humans to do body and tissue transplants, to replace the worn down body parts (hearts, lungs, bones). Could the human mind (brain) live and last forever if the body around it was just replaced as needed?

Yes actually it is possible. Certain cells in the body only regenerate a specific # of times. Those cells tend to be what determines "natural death". Cells are capable of regenerating infinite numbers of times, and some do (like epithelial cells). If all of the cells of the body could be reprogrammed so that they didn't "count" when they regenerate, then yes it is possible to live forever. This is a question several institutions are beginning to work on, and several others have been working on since the 1970s.

Stem cells can be used to repair brain damage too, someday. But it is a controversy topics. Another topics is the ethics. How do you call this person who is made up of many parts of someone else?

Take what you % out of it. a million) "The residing know that they are going to die however the lifeless know no longer something," (Ecc 9:5). If the lifeless are in heaven or hell, why do no longer they know something? 2) every time somebody died, they have been mentioned to be "dozing," particularly than in heaven looking down at a prophet or Christ reviving them questioning, "Please do no longer, i like it right here extra desirable." i do no longer know approximately you, yet while i'm having a sturdy sleep i'm no longer attentive to something taking place; I close my eyes and bam! a 2d later 8 hours handed and that i'm wide awake. 3) "For God so enjoyed the international that he gave his basically begotten son that whoever believes in him shall no longer perish, yet have eternal life," John 3:sixteen. 2 ideas given, no longer one. Perish, or stay consistently in heaven. So specific, people are waiting to stay consistently, yet on one situation: they have self belief in Christ and what he did for them. nonetheless this is a tad (yet no longer plenty) extra desirable than that because of the fact that devil believes in God and "trembles." 4) Jude vs 7 explains that Sodom and Gomorrah stand as an occasion of what's going to ensue to the unjust interior the top. Gen 19 tells us that they've been thoroughly destroyed. Take what you will out of that...

We don't know! Some say we already live for ever, but not trapped inside this body. If we were able to prolong life indefinitely, would out brains keep up? No one knows.

we were not meant to live in this body forever but in the afterlife we will be made perfect [and i might actually be able to spell and stuff] in this afterlife we will live forever with God if we have come to know Christ as our savior or in Hell if not and pay for our sins ourselves. its all in the Bible don't take my word for it, read it yourselves or "ask" about the Romans road

no entropy will cause everything to wear down. your internal organs would fail and your brain would eventually die.
the only way you can achieve eternal life is by asking Jesus Christ to save you and bring you to live with him forever in heaven
