  1. if its immortal it cant not die, no matter what. not even fire so that is a no. It will just keep regenrating


  2. Immortality is the concept of living in physical or spiritual form for an infinite length of time. So no you can not kill an immortal.

    Creatures that live for a long time, like Dracula, are not immortal they are just killed differently.

    They only entity I can think of that is immortal would be gods.

    If you have a certain religion you might believe that immortality is achieved after death. The belief in an afterlife experienced by an immortal soul is a dogma of many branches of Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. This belief is related to the philosophy of dualism.

    Also here is a little information about Biological Immortality if you ever thought about it :) It's probably not the immortality your thinking of.:

    Biological immortality is an absence of aging, specifically the absence of a sustained increase in rate of mortality as a function of chronological age. A cell or organism that does not experience aging, or ceases to age at some point, is biologically immortal.

    Biologists have chosen the word immortal to designate cells that are not limited by the Hayflick limit, where cells no longer divide because of DNA damage or shortened telomeres. Prior to the work of Leonard Hayflick there was the erroneous belief fostered by Alexis Carrel that all normal somatic cells are immortal. By preventing cells from reaching senescence one can achieve biological immortality; telomeres, a “cap” at the end of DNA, are thought to be the cause of cell aging. Every time a cell divides the telomere becomes a bit shorter; when it is finally worn down, the cell is unable to split and dies. Telomerase is an enzyme which rebuilds the telomeres in stem cells and cancer cells, allowing them to replicate an infinite number of times. No definitive work has yet demonstrated that telomerase can be used in human somatic cells to prevent healthy tissues from aging. On the other hand, scientists hope to be able to grow organs with the help of stem cells, allowing organ transplants without the risk of rejection, another step in extending human life expectancy. These technologies are the subject of ongoing research, and are not yet realized.
