no because life is been shown to relate to telomeres in cells as they get shiorter over years of cell replication in our bodies we get closer to death

So long as the consciousness of the individual remains intact, it would be a way to live longer.
Replacing the organs through either cloning of the parts, donor organs or though mechanical replacements is currently dangerous or science fiction, so it would be risky and unless death was probable or immenent, it would be a bad idea.
I will say that it is theoretically possible to imagine the creation of a silicon based brain cell. Now if cell by cell the original brain was replaced by the manufactured cells and conciousness was retained, you could say that person would be immortal. They would no longer require a body for conciousness and the new 'brain' could be transferred to a droid or robot body, which could also be easily replaced.
A further step of this would be to imagine, if the replacement of brain cells with artificial cells was successful, could you diverge consciousness by splitting the artificail brain in two...just a thought.

There is so much more that makes up our bodies besides our organs. There is also a spiritual hand in it. If anything, the stress on your body from all the surgeries may actually reduce your life. Don't forget all the cells, veins, tendons, atoms, blood, bones, etc. It is impossible to replenish everything. You must die someday....

No because if he keeps on changing his body parts, his body will get tired. And how can you take away your heart? once you disconnect it...Your dead...X-p

Theoretically- yes! Practically- at our present level of technology- no!

no i dont think so....like a person replaced his heart with an artificial one he died though..but if we make another heart by cloning it may have chances.but remember god is powerful than everyone..everything is accordidng to him.
