VIVA – All man will surely die. However, advances in medicine and technology today encourage humans to push back the ‘expiration date’. If it continues like this, is it possible for humans to one day be able to live forever?
“When a lot of people ask about immortality. Maybe they mean true immortality. Live forever. This doesn’t apply to those who believe in something called the soul,” says Director of the Center for the Future Mind of Florida Atlantic University in the United States ( USA), Susan Schneider.
According to him, if one upgraded their brain and body to live for a very long time, then they still wouldn’t be able to live during the day doomsday come, quote from the page Live Science, Friday, October 1, 2021.
Schneider and scientists hope that the universe will end to quell the mystery and human desire for eternal life. Although some scientists have speculated that humans can survive the death of the universe, it is impossible for humans to survive and live on the Day of Judgment.
The analogy is this. Man must grow old and die. To live indefinitely or eternally, humans need to stop the aging process in the body. There is a group of animals that have solved this problem. For example hydra, which is small invertebrates such as jellyfish.
Their bodies are mostly made up of stem cells that are constantly dividing to make new cells. Because their old cells have been removed. Well, the constant influx of new cells allows the hydra to be able to rejuvenate itself so that it stays young.
“They don’t seem to age. They are potentially immortal. Hydra has shown that animals don’t have to grow old but that doesn’t mean humans can imitate the hydra’s rejuvenation process,” said Daniel Martínez, Professor of Biology from Pomona College, California, USA.
