touchy question this is on Death?

Question

The one certainty of the human experience is death. But what might happen when our effort to prolong the inevitable starts to turn that battle around? Will someone, or something, step in to ensure the final outcome? At what point does the cost of survival... become too high a price for us to pay

Answer 1

People who do not live, do not know about life are the ones afraid of death. they want to avoid death. so they go in search of ways to prolog life. you cannot cheat life, may you can chet death for a few days or months or years. but nobody can run away from or chat life.

when one run away from life and death, the cost of survival becomes very huge. when you know life, death ceases to be. these are on the metaphysical domain. on the physical domain we are yet to achieve a remarkable discovery. may be over the years mankind will understand the metaphysical side and move into it. outliving the body is not an answer to it. deathlessness can happen only when we live and know life, fully, consciously. Awareness is the key.

Friend I lost my first wife of almost 22 yrs. of marriage, she ask me to do what I can do to keep her alive, She was in ICU for 304 days, I did all I could as I promised her, but to no avail. When it comes your time to go, not even machines will keep you alive. Now you ask the price of survival, Yes it is very costly, my late wife medical bill came to a little over 1 Million & 500,000 1 1/2 million dollars, My late wife was only 37 yrs old. we were high school sweethearts, She passed away, & now I am remarried, so when ever a person do all they can There will be nothing that can stop death. The Lord giveth & the Lord taketh away, Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Answer 3

That is a good question. I am amazed at science now, medical technology that can save a baby at 24 weeks premature. However a lifetime of disabilities and problems that follows with it. Pretty soon we might just be able to save a baby at 19 weeks, 18 weeks, and so on. People's bodies can be kept from decomposing by being hooked up to machines. There is a time for us to just let go. I don't advocate mercy killing, but I do advocate "stepping back and letting nature take its course" when nature is against us.

Answer 4

We can prolong the human experience but we cannot make it something it is not. The fabric of existence is made of 'essence', what we currently call soul, or soul matter. Since we were made of soul matter first, we must eventually return to soul matter. Imagine, if you will, a blank sheet of paper. Now, draw a 'figure' on that blank sheet of paper. The 'essence' of that figure, the 'you', existed before the 'drawing'. Erase the drawing, and 'you' return to your blankness, but with more awareness of who you could be, what you could be. Death is the paper reasserting it's fundamental nature.

Answer 5

Death is simply the absence of life. Life is ultimately destined to die due to laws of thermodynamics, not to mention due to inherent flaws in cellular growth and a high copy error ratio in later life.

Answer 6

The hour of our death is pre-determined by God. We cannot prolong it, however we can hasten it by neglecting the laws and guidance from God, the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing, the All-Wise.

Answer 7

all that is born must die. without life there can be no death and without death there can be no life. we are all put on this plane of existence for a certain amount of time to perform the agendas we agreed to do. when these agendas have been fulfilled we will move on to a different plane of existence and not before.

Answer 8

Better consult your religion expert i.e Sheikh , Molla, Priest, Rabbi

Answer 9

I don't think this will happen. Eventually everyone will die, even if it takes them 1000 years.
