Is it possible to be immortal?

Question

Is it possible to be immortal?

Answer 1

I'm a retired high school science teacher and I feel a certain type of immortality.  How?  I was recently contacted by a student of about 6 years ago.  She wanted me to know that she is a science teacher now and wanted to thank me for inspiring her way back when.  In the future when she inspires  students, I kind of feel as though part of me will be in the picture.  It feels infinite.  And wonderful...

Live long and prosper (or do like me, live forever through others)

Answer 2

It's impossible to be anything other that immortal, since that is what we are. This is why Socrates said: Know Thyself.

Becoming immortal is simply waking up to who we are. And in some circles that is called enlightenment.

This will explain it in Christian terms.. http://gospelenigma.com

You are immortal... we only have to come to that realization.

Answer 3

Not for Born Humans.

"I don't fear death because the 5 Billion years that I didn't exist before I was born haven't harmed me any." - Mark Twain

Answer 4

Your greatest contributions to the world, are the ones you leave behind. So, everything big and small that will affect someone after you are gone from this world is a bit of immortality.

So go do something.....

If you are a Christian, then the answer would be yes. They believe that once you accept Jesus and proclaim that you sin, that you are immortal and have eternal life from that point on.

I don't know of any other religions which believe in human immortality.

No, everyone has to die sometime. But if you live a healthy and enjoyable life, with no stress and a happy relationship then you might live past the expected age.

Answer 23

In a vague philosophical way, yes...

You can become immortal through the legacy you leave here on Earth.

In logical, scientific way, yes...

You can upload your consciousness into a machine.

Although we still don't know how to do the latter...
