Eternal things are not born, nor do they die. Cycles of material seeding, maturation and senescence continue beyond the individual loss of function of the individual parts. One could say that parts 'die' but the whole absorbs and redirects that energy (Conservation of Matter and Energy).

Indeed. My body is as old as time. For it is formed of the self-same atoms that came into existence at the beginning of the universe. So it cannot die, since it has always been.
'I' however am always dying. From one nano-second to the next, what was 'me' loses some water and carbon dioxide. Skin cells shed, electrons spin off, nothing is constant. My blood cells are renewed every 120 days or so, my bones and nerves somewhat longer.
So the being that was 'born' 50 years ago has long gone. Changed beyond recognition. So what dies? 'Self' I suppose. Not that even that is constant. Just those darned electrical impulses popping imaginings into my head!

Everything has to die sooner or later. Mountains are moved by rivers, rivers dry up, the ice caps are melting, animals are going extinct, fires are destroying our rain forests. Dinosaurs ruled the planet for millions of years they have long gone. Sooner or later the Sun will burn out and planet earth will stop to ex-hist. Humans will die out and unless we can find another planet and move our fate will be the same as the dinosaurs. We are here now but this does not guarantee our place for the future. Governments spend millions of Dollars on wars because we fight each other. We should be working together to survive but we are all blinded by the colour of mans skin and what religion we each follow.

No, because bacteria and viruses are living things that we try to kill or suppress and they are not born.
I will refrain from the obvious that the fetus is alive inside of a woman and when she miscarries it dies, but was not yet born.
Trees and plants and flowers etc are not born but can die...

Is it better to be born into poverty, bad health, malnutrition and bigotry by the very people who insist you be born, or stay in the Summerland awaiting another body for your soul? I would choose to wait and relieve the woman who was bearing the body I would use the responsibility of raising a child in the midst of religionists that do not care for children born of the poor and the sick.

Not what is not born, but rather what is not there,If you mean unborn in relation to abortion,it is killing and you will answer for murder in front of God.Please do not try to justify abortion.If your mother argued that way you would not have been born to justify your illegality.

Anything that lives dies.
The Gods and spirits and the souls inside all living things are immortal so they don't die.
Things that don't live like cars can't die.

something that is alive! DUH but if u are talking about an unborn baby dieing it is really an opinion I think the soul enters the body with the first breath" Breathing in life" THat is why the doctor gives them a little smack to startle them and make them go uhh breathing in air and LIFE! but not everyone belives that and maybe some souls are in the mothers stomach before the baby comes out it all depends on the "mood" of the soul because u aren't ur body u are ur soul and ur body is like ur vehical that lets u get around on earth!

Disagree. The unborn fetus of any creature is alive. Personally, I'm pro-choice.
