Nope, not with medical science as it stands today, it isn't possible. But one day in the future it may be....

Not possible now. Happens sometimes in sci-fi. The general proceedure would require the ability to clone specific body parts for maintenence replacement -- like the heart. However, the better scenario would be to simply replace the entire body at once. That would mean that we would have to keep cloning our bodies over and over, and these bodies would have to be brainless. Then, the surgeon, who would have to perfect brain transplantation, would simply move the brain, memories included into the new body --- or even better, have an empty brain cloned with the new body and transfer only the memories that you want .... Pretty sure most of this stuff is a long way in the future.

It's impossible to "replace" ALL the bones in your body. When someone dies and after years of deterioration, the last thing intact are the bones.
As far as the heart goes, how long do you think a heart can live? It needs blood to pump, so 'taking someone else's heart and putting it in another' is far more difficult. Read up on heart transplant surgery.

The bible states "Man shall live to be 120".I doubt any doctor can help you live to the ripe old age of 500.I haven't even heard of anyone livivg to 120.Some have tried,but they died trying.

I don't think so but if you ever read the book The Lake House by James Patterson,they thought so and they also made children who could fly like birds.

Nope, but I assume that research these days are going to get further in their medical production of the sciences of living longer...

unfortunately not, everyone gonna expire sometimes. Even with replacement parts those people have to have them changed every 10 years.
