In summary, the concept of immortality is a philosophical and ethical question that is beyond the scope of scientific research. While advancements in medicine and technology have extended human life expectancy, there is currently no scientific evidence or technology that can grant immortality. The possibility of achieving immortality is still a subject of debate and speculation, with some arguing it may be possible through future advancements while others believe death is a natural part of life. If immortality were to become a reality, it could have significant consequences on society and raise ethical concerns about quality of life and the right to die. In the scientific community, the concept of immortality is not widely accepted as it falls outside the realm of scientific research.

Hello everyone. Lately I have been pondering about the concept of immortality. From a few resources, I have heard that it may be possible around 2047. Also, to clear up any misunderstandings, I mean immortality as in by disease and aging. Not in terms of trauma. I have also seen some ways that people think it may be possible such as by brain "emulation". They are usually preposterous although I was wondering about what the people here think.
Regards, Artemis.
