Human beings have parts that wear out. Some say that every day a person lives, starting at birth, is one day closer to their death--and it's true. By the time a person reaches 40-50 years old, some parts begin to show wear and tear. We have: achy bones; sore muscles; trouble digesting foods; gallbladders don't function as well; our vision and hearing declines; even our skin starts to get drier and less elastic. By the time people are 50-60 years old, most are taking 5 or more medications.

Can people live forever?

No one is really sure how long they will live. Living longer can be achieved by not smoking, by excercising, by eating right, and by being active. These things generally lead to a longer and more healthy life. No one can live forever, and there is no magical fountain of youth. Follow this simple steps and you may live to 100! It all depends on your lifestyle and habits. If you are following a systematic lifestyle, you can live longer. It really depends on the situation. If you have lots of bad vices your life will be very short. But if you're living in a healthy and a life full of determination for sure you will live longer. == ==

What do you think of the possibility that with future technology we will live forever and resurrect the dead?

Not going to happen ever. We may see the time when humans can live over 100 on average but to live forever is impossible. Your body wears out, and that is the nature of things. No way will technology ever be able to keep us alive forever. As far as raising the dead only God can do that. Once you are dead you are dead and no technology can alter that state. You are brain dead in just 4 to 6 minutes after your heart stops beating. Once the brain is dead you are dead and nothing can change that. That cannot be reversed period.
