Sorry, the thread title amused me...

At any rate, what about the possibility of actually living forever as yourself. With the advent of organ replacement, even with organs not donated, but rather grown from stem cells, which can also replace simple tissues aside from full-fledged organs. This coupled with the concept of anti-oxidants and better and more in-depth knowledge of vitamins and minerals that support, maintain and rebuild bodily materials and function, is it not possible that one human being could live, if not forever, for a VERY long time (hundreds of years perhaps)?

What are your thoughts? What science suggests that this could happen in a few generations? What science refutes it?
