Is it possible for one to live for 100 years or more? I often question why people die. There is no apparent reason why the heart stops working. In theory, people should be able to live forever.
A tree can live for thousands of years. This particular http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/04/080414-oldest-tree.html is still alive after 9550 years. How is this possible? Can a tree live forever if the conditions are to its liking?
A banana is picked green from a tree and shipped out of the country. It ripens when the temperature is good. If the banana is too ripe, it begins to rot.

If we managed to create a human that is in perfect health, and we put him/her in an ideal environment with pure food, could he/she live forever?
There is no fountain of youth, but it could be that our bodies cannot adjust to the current environment. Our bodies tolerate the environment then slowly disintegrate with time.
