Today, that fantasy is no longer confined to stories. Advances in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, gene editing, and regenerative medicine are rapidly pushing the boundaries of what it means to age. Some scientists believe that within this century, we may unlock the possibility of radical life extension \u2014 or even functional immortality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"687\">But if science made it possible to live forever\u2026 would you take the chance?<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"689\" data-end=\"741\"><strong data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"741\">The Science Behind the Idea of Living Forever<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"1000\">Biologists have already identified key mechanisms that cause aging: DNA damage, cellular senescence, telomere shortening, mitochondrial decay, and chronic inflammation.
