Immortality is eternal life, being exempt from death, unending existence.
Certain scientists, futurists, and philosophers have theorized about the immortality of the human body, with some suggesting that human immortality may be achievable in the first few decades of the 21st century.
On the other hand, some believe that death is a divine blessing and eternal life will lead to the fullness of the earth and systemic disorder.
Humans have long been fascinated by the idea of immortality and have been pursuing it for centuries.
Ancient Greek alchemists once tried to find a 'Philosopher's Stone' to obtain immortality, but were unsuccessful.
In recent decades, the average life expectancy in many countries has increased drastically and now most, healthy individuals in the UK can expect a life duration of about 80 years.
With the rapid development of technology and an increasing scientific understanding of the flaws of the human body, some people to believe that immortality is closer now than it has ever been before.
In the late 20th Century, an idea called cryonics was founded - the ability to bring someone back to life after death.
Now, futurologists think that humans will be able to live forever thanks to a combination of tech advances.
There are now three schools of thought for how people will be able to endure permanently.
Option one: Body regeneration
Scientists have already managed to grow chemicals, tissues and organs in the lab and as technology advances in this field.
Combined with 3D printing and reversing the ageing of cells, our bodies may last longer than ever before.
Option two: Robotic body replacements
Robots are becoming better and more human-like all the time, and we may be able to upload a human consciousness into an android in the future.
Option three: A virtual world
Virtual reality and Augmented reality have started to blur the lines between the tangible and the artificial.
