we have already come really close......the average age of males 150 years ago was what like 50 and today we are living into our 90's. K check this out......they have invented a toliet that has accsess to the internet. Yes really.....it will alert you to any medical emegany that you may be having such as a strock or cancer in your bowel. It is already being used in nursing homes in Japan, and saving many more lifes.

absolutely.......it has been said in some way by every ancient tribe and peoples who all have had the same thoughts......if many have the same thoughts it DOES show many truthful things........

if many animal species can regenerate arms and legs, and we can take cells and clone, than does it not also stand to reason that our brain is more POWERFUL than any animal that can regenerate it's own members, and if our own cells taken from our body can be manipulated by engineered man-made environment to make a clone, than it also stands to reason the human mind has the capability of controling it's own cells to do the same, as the cells are taken first from an already existing PERFECT EVIRONMENT.......albeit there are natural hurldes of learning that must be accepted first, but they are quite simple truths that to accept unlock the regeneration of the individual and then the universe, as both are created by the same exact principles and methods......

there is also work on computers that inteact with ones own brain.....in sence becoming a living computer......it is soppose to grow and learn with the person...... so when the person dies what becomes of this computer......could it be transfered to another living person giving the new person all the thoughts and memorys of the old in essence allowing someone to live forever.........................

Even if stem cell research allowed us to grow new arms, legs, kidneys, and hearts, I don't expect immortality to ever be achieved for two reasons.

1. The "end replication problem" that cells run into after dividing a few too many generations.
From Wikipedia:
A telomere is a region of repetitive DNA at the end of chromosomes, which protects the end of the chromosome from destruction. Derived from the Greek telos (end) and meres (part).

During cell division, the enzymes that duplicate the chromosome and its DNA can't continue their duplication all the way to the end of the chromosome. If cells divided without telomeres, they would lose the end of their chromosomes, and the necessary information it contains. (In 1972, James Watson named this phenomenon the "end replication problem.") The telomere is a disposable buffer, which is consumed during cell division and is replenished by an enzyme, the telomerase reverse transcriptase.

This mechanism usually limits cells to a fixed number of divisions, and animal studies suggest that this is responsible for aging on the cellular level and affects lifespan. Telomeres protect a cell's chromosomes from fusing with each other or rearranging. These chromosome abnormalities can lead to cancer, so cells are normally destroyed when telomeres are consumed. Most cancer is the result of cells bypassing this destruction. Biologists speculate that this mechanism is a tradeoff between aging and cancer.


2. The number of brain cells in your head is in constant decline. If you lived long enough, you'd likely get some sort of dementia or Alzheimer's.

Immortality means forever, no. An accident will eventually do you in. There will be cloned bodies and the brains information will be transferred to the clones. I'm working on a patent.

Doubtful, even as far as science has come I don't believe they will have the time needed to develop some sort of immortality.

many principles of truth that the mind has locked away have never been seen, and each thing that live in nature show immortality has only been hindered by environment......environment will change drastically allowing expediatial growth of many things......how do we think we got dinasours? NO GRAVITY.......enlightened beings will lift the curse of gravity from the planet by the power of united minds.........the earth was tilted 23% not by accident, but as to create gravity for a simple lesson for mankind in mortality......could one appreciate no pain unless having felt pain, hate to feel or know love, mortality to FEEL immortality when had......each thing that has died live now as immmortal all around us............
