The aging process is main reason for unavoidable death. Adwaita, an Aldabra giant tortoise that died in 2006 in the Alipore Zoological Gardens of Kolkata, India, is believed to have lived to the age of 255 years but this has not been confirmed. You may think that if genes are modified properly, human can live at least 200 years by understanding longevity of tortoise. How about immortality?

Aging is a complex process. Proper activation of AMPK pathway may reduce faulty polymerases. As result, aging prone unwanted mutations may be reduced. Interestingly, Turtle activates AMPK during anoxic submergence.
Slowing down like Turtle helps longevity?

Human life's rhythm is defined in DNA. We know DNA better and better. We need to have a proper initiative to improve our life in stead of finding ways to cure illness. How to make improvement? The answer could be, a better version of human being.
i think about it in the way you say about 4 years ago but now for being immortal i think and recommend a different way you know i think about transfer the information and data of our mind to some external device like robot or to another human body which we make it
