Well, first off cures are for diseases and death isn't a disease, it's part of the life cycle. Currently scientists are researching about telomeres and telomerase which essentially allow our cells to continue to divide which we need to maintain our body/organs/health.

First of all good question.. and one whos answer can only be awaited in the future. However in my opinion death .. like evry other process in our bodies is a series of timed events, finely balanced in order to work properly..death is similarly a naturaly timed process that is dependent of millions of factors so its not just one thing that can be found to stop death. I would say it would be a far feteched task to prevent deah however who knows.. afterall it is just a series of events and if there is a way that these events can be stopped then maybe we can evade death.. but who wants to live forever the earth is over populated as it is. humans have destroying the earth down to a fine art and there wont be much to stick around for.

still there is no specific theory of ageing and death.
i dont think people have ideas abt "curing" death....
and i think there is no need of " curing " bcoz its not a disease its a nature's law and thats very important for balance.
but i have an idea..... life span of tortoise is around 200 yrs.
so if we find out the gene responsible for it or the reason behind it we can then try to imply that on humans....
isnt it a great idea....

No because you will never know when your going to die it could be any second and once your heart stops beating your hole body shuts down and it is possible to bring you back to life but it has to be within 5 minutes or it is very rare to be able to bring you back within a time limit of 5 minutes

Psh everybody is so un-imaginative about this. Of course it seems very far-fetched but I think one day (long long from now - or maybe not) it could be possible. Perhaps eternal life could happen. Sometimes I believe there may be eternal life already out there somewhere.

No not a complete cure, but maybe for people to live a bit longer.

Proposed solutions are switching to asexual reproduction or uploading your mind to a computer.
