Once again, the we die statement isn't completely true. See some of Downs posts or my first post on this topic for clarification.

It is completey true, billions apon billions of people have already proved that simple fact beyond a doupt.
Your basing something on nothing but fantasy and conjecture.
Even if someone was to live for hundreds of years from some medical breakthrough, they are still going to die sooner or later.
Natural causes are only one way to kick the bucket.

We don't gamble on whether or not we live forever, because it's biologically impossible. I have absolutely nil chance of surviving, NOT because it's a statistical improbability, but because I'm simply not wired to live forever.

if do a little research you would see it is not biologically impossible for us to live forever. our cells should keep reproducing themselves and regenerating your body as a whole, indefinately.

scientists cant explain why they just all the sudden stop replicating properly. so eventually we die... but we should be able to live forever.

But they suddenly stop replicating, - and scientist can explain - because each any every time they replace themselves, they cut one line off the last bit of DNA, most of which is nonsense, but once it ceases being nonsense...

Oh sure, sometimes this doesn't happen. Sometimes they don't cut off that line. But we already know what that's called: Cancer.

The point is that there is a possiblity that your cells will continue to replicate. It might be minute, but there is still a possibility.
