Will we one day be eternal?

Do you think it is possible that one day, not anytime soon, but thousands of years into the future that we will have the capability of never dying? That we will live forever? That we would have gotten to the point of technology and health that we can thwart any new disease, ailment, injury, mental disorder, fear, etc.
To get to the point of death not existing...?

No, but I think it would be possible to get very close to that. But I don't feel death can be ruled out of life...but then again, who knows?

Perhaps we are eternal. It's just our physical incarnations of us that die?

Eternity, is/as now..
If there is no death, then there is no re·newal.

I also think death can never be ruled out. But perhaps aging/disease/etc could be? There is always the chance you could get struck by lightning or eaten by a mutated super bear or something like that.

There has never been anything in existence that is permanent. Everything, including us, is impermanent. We may make great strides in combating disease and slowing the aging process, but there will always be newer diseases and problems that will kill us (such as war).

A mutated super bear, eh?
Something about those words that just isn't right, and I think it is the image that it is conveying.. 
 Peace.

That wasn't quite the image the thought conjured within me....
That dude looks like a ninja dragon warthog, or something...

 Peace.
