There are so many things that were just theories in that we thought we could not attain, and now here we are,curing diseases, flying in the skies, now I hear there is a cure for cancer and AIDS. That which has been proven difficult to attain, humans have in times without numbers has beaten all odds.
So would not be surprise to hear that 100% human immortality is possible. By the curing of disease is kind of prolonging human  life which I can term as partial human immortality.
Although it will take decades to attain this, but once this is discovered, it will be very expensive for many.
I guess I wrongly imagine that human immortality means that all humans with live forever. I suppose that for human immortality to be a reality, it would just take one person to live forever. I still don't think it's very likely any time soon. On one hand, people are resilient, but on the other hand we are quite fragile. People die just from tripping on the sidewalk and hitting their head. People will always die. I think that we'll continue to keep living longer, on average, but we'll still be dying.

I think that if a serious extension of life becomes a reality, it will be very expensive. Otherwise, it is necessary to limit the birth rate, or even forbid people to have children.

Not necessarily. If humans can become truly immortal, we could explore the entire galaxy and believe me, we have plenty of planets there to live and spread, we wouldn't need to stop having children at all.

This looks like a better idea than limiting the birth rate. Besides, I know people keep working on it and it's just a matter of time when we are able to leave the planet and start living somewhere out there on another planet.

To live an immortal life would be a blessing, however, I think that this will be expensive and only the wealthy people can afford this. Of course, time may come when said technology will become readily available and affordable for anyone, just like any technology, but for the first few years of its released, it will be highly expensive. Plus, some people in power might abuse it and declare themselves as gods, which will not be good for us all.

But what if the right technology was developed to cater to this human fragility that you mentioned? I mean, that’s part of the reason why tech is invented in the first place, right? To enhance and simply our lives. To compensate for our flaws and weaknesses. I think with the right kind of technology, humans can be capable of achieving immortality.

I think human's immortality life is impossible.There is no medicine in the world which will make us immortality.To achieve immortality many pursuits and theories are needed.Many have achieved immortality in history,but there is no explanation for this.
Yes, it certainly seems like humans are far too fragile to be immortal. I definitely think that life expectancy will continue to increase, but there must be some limit. Technology is improving very quickly. Modern medicine has allowed us to eliminate many of the diseases that used to kill millions. Even now, there are many cases when people die "of old age". Doctors and coroners are literally unable to determine the cause of death. I'm sure this will still happen, even when we eliminate diseases like cancer.

Aubrey de Grey has some pretty interesting thoughts on the subject.

De Grey's research focuses on whether regenerative medicine can thwart the aging process. He works on the development of what he calls "Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence" (SENS), a collection of proposed techniques to rejuvenate the human body and stop aging. To this end, he has identified seven types of molecular and cellular damage caused by essential metabolic processes. SENS is a proposed panel of therapies designed to repair this damage.

Yes, it is true that there are a lot talks and studies going on about the future with humans transitioning to a virtual world. The technology is possible, it simple needs time to fully implement it. Awesome, right?

I don't think that there is a way scientist could make people live forever. They have tried to invent something so that our lives would be longer. But still, even now with all these new technologies, they haven't come up with anything. That is because we can't control how long we will live.
And eternal life is pointless. It won't be interesting to live forever.

Everything in this world is coming to an end and even the world itself. The earth is coming to its destruction. What good will it be for a man if he lives forever but in a decaying and passing world? What kind of life will there be?

man will not be eternal, man will meet his death, his death is written before man is born into the world, eternal man is man who is in his own movie story if i think wkwkwkwk, whose name human will surely die, man in this world will surely die on Judgment Day one day.

Being immortal is not so much fun for humans who have weaknesses. I do not think it's important for humans to be immortal if they do not have a definite purpose

Human Immortality is eternal life, being exempt from death, unending existence.

Until mankind invents technologies to explore the entire galaxy,hundreads or thousands of years will past.And if people find out how to become immortal it will be a diaster because of overpopulation,and probably there would be many social conflicts between those who can afford it and those who can't

Ray Kurzweil has predicted immortality for human beings already in a few decades, possibly he is hoping to benefit from that himself. Kurzweil is among other things chief of AI researchers of Google.

I am actually thinking, what if the scientist really do achieve the formula for the human being to become immortal. Imagine that there would be no death for the rest of the century then sum it up with another billions of birth. Then deduct the current state of the earth's resources (Conclusion: The total earth's resources is not enough and would last for years if not decade)

Therefore, Scientist first should create another place where humans could leave and survive because death provides a balance in the system and that is how it should be in the first place. On the other hand I am very skeptical to this type of topic  Grin

While immortality will remain only a dream for centuries to come no matter how forward the science goes, it cannot be achieved because the human body is made by cells which die with the passing of time. The dying of cells is responsible for a human being ageing,i.e getting old. You cannot produce all the needed cells which are needed to keep a person alive in lab conditions.
