I think that you need to settle the question about death first, and the possibility of living a full life will make much more sense to you. What is death and how can a person stop being afraid of it? Basically, giving Is Life, receiving Death. Life amounts to clarifying what is bad and good for you, to rejecting the bad and attracting the good. I recommend you do some reading about the meaning and purpose of life and live it to the fullest. Good Luck!

This depends, as I have herd people use this very phrase as an excuse to keep smoking after they were told that they have cancer and I got to watch them die. Along the same line I have seen people continue to drink booze or refuse to eat proper foods even after they were told that they had type 2 Diabetes. They continue to ingest these foods or drink while parts of their legs where being removed. Yes I believe in living and experiencing life to the best I can but not at the risk of health to myself or others around me. Such a person is very selfish and not to be admired. My opinion.

Yes, I truly believe that. You have to have dreams that are within reach though and not ask for things such as: "I wish I could become a king some day.." We all have hopes and dreams that we can fulfill, maybe not all of them, but we try our best to fulfill as many as possible :) Why would you want to live forever? Reminds me of the Green Mile.. He sees all of his loved ones die and he stays alive.. I would be so sad if that happened.. Death is just part of life. If nobody died, you wouldn't have been here in the first place; because the earth would have been overpopulated. Each day people are born, each day, people die. That's life, you just have to accept that fact.. You have to make place for your children and their children :)

Immortality is not possible, but it may be possible to live hundreds or thousands of years, if not longer by technological breakthroughs. A comprehensive approach to rejuvenation is SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence), which is based on the idea that aging is the result of damage to organs, tissues, and micromolecules, and that we could be rejuvenated to a youthful condition by repair technologies. If molecular repair (nanomedicine) were available to eliminate aging and bring about rejuvenation, it should be possible to also cure all diseases. Some scientists believe that these technologies will be available within 30 to 50 years, and sooner if enough money and research were devoted to achieving this sooner. Although I think it is possible to live thousands of years through rejuvenation technologies (and cryonics), I don't think that it is possible to become immortal. But if we do succeed in living thousands of years, that will give us lots of time to see if it is possible to live longer, perhaps forever (as unlikely as that seems). I am hopeful that rejuvenation technology will be available within my life, so that I will not age. As a backup, in case rejuvenation technology is not available in my lifetime, I have made arrangements to be cryonically preserved. That way, I can be preserved until medical science not only achieves rejuvenation and cures for all diseases, but the ability to repair cryopreservation damage. (Hopefully, I would be vitrified, and there would be no freezing damage). If all diseases were cured (including aging) and war was eliminated, then the causes of death would be accident, suicide or murder. In the United States in 2006 accidents were responsible for 5.0% of deaths, suicide for 1.4% and homicide for 0.8%. Assuming that you were determined to live forever, suicide could be ruled-out as a cause of death. I have heard it said that if only accidents and homicide were causes of death, that a person might be expected to live over a thousand years. (Dividing 80 years by 0.06 gives 1,333 years, but that may not be a mathematically valid operation.) However, if you only had murder and suicide to worry about as causes of death, and were trying to live as long as possible, then you would become increasingly safety conscious. If you could reduce your chances of death due to accident or murder significantly each year you remained alive, then you could out-race the statistics and avoid death due to those causes. The Sun is getting to be increasingly hot, and by a billion years from now it is expected that the Earth will be too hot for liquid water to exist. That should give plenty of time to move to Mars, and outer asteroids, however, as well as building colonies that simply exist in space or revolve around increasingly distant planets. Eventually, other stars will have to be found. The stellar phase of our galaxy will begin winding down in about ten trillion years. In the meantime, one must avoid hazards like being hit by asteroids, meteors or comets, supernova, black holes, and probably lots of other things we cannot imagine. It seems inevitable that something is going to kill you that you cannot predict or control. Ultimately, there will be "heat death" of the universe, in 10^100 years (ten with 100 zeros).
