false. very false. we don't start to die until we're fully developed and our mitochondria in our body's cells pass their prime. then we start to age, which is also a cause of death. the natural causes of age that cause us to die begin to start when we pas our prime, wich is in our 20s.

assuming we don't have a sickness, because that can cause us to die too. like if you're born with a disease then you'll likely begin to die, depending on what it is.

The only reason false won, they were to many true answers.
So all trues votes were more spread out then all of false..like over a hundred=(T) to around fifty=(F)

This was fun thanks. Now instead of dying I enjoyed so fun with you guys.(living)

There's a wording technicality. Death and dying are slightly different. Death is the actual end result and dying is the process. You don't start "dying" unless your body starts breaking down, but as long as you are alive, you're always getting closer to death.

    True because the second you're born you are getting closer to death. I have heard this question many times, and I actually think it's a really smart question. Well, to answer your question though yes. The second you are born you start getting "closer" to death, but you can keep postponing it the healthier you are. I hope I answered your question.

    yes, because time is of the essence and it goes by faster than people know. continuing on until your clock has run out of time and has stopped

    you are born to one day die, as is the life cycles way, it is what you did in your life that makes you live forever on in the lives of people

    We are all apart of life’s cycle, we all create a history, and footprint; a memory.
    It is what YOU choose to do with this gift that sets your path in life and in death. Live your life the way you want, live it to its fullest. Because in the end it is YOU who is living this life, and only YOU can live this one life, only YOU can set its course and journey, the lessons that you learn, the history YOU create is all your choice. Take charge of your future, for your past is gone, your present is fading, your future is yours to control. while life will always be, death is inevitable

    True, for if you are living, you have to die sometime, it is the way of things. But if you are already dead, you can not die. But if you are living, then that means you are dieing since you are going to die sometime. Also, when you age, you lose life, making you dieing.

    If you're definition of dying is getting closer to your death, then the statement is true. However, don't let is depress you. It simply backs up the saying that you can't truly live without killing yourself.

    I think it's false. I mean sure, you get closer and closer to death every second, but when you're born you're growing. So, basically, I think that you start dieing when you stop growing.

    True.
    We consume processed foods and poisons into our body constantly
    We go through stages of depression from relationships and economic hardships
    We go through extreme stress
    Most people don't get enough exercise.
    So that takes time off the downwards ticking clock.
    So yes we will always be dying.

    well even though when we are born everything is still growing and not gettin weaker you could almost think that we dont start dying when we are born

    but yet we are getting closer to dieing so pretty much it is true we start dieing once we are born or even conceived

    False, your body dies but your legacy lives on forever. Your actions create echoes in eternity. You are survived by those whose lives you have touched.

    False You start living, and you start growing.

    You start dying when you stop living life, when you start doing nothing.

    Damn right.

    Why?
    Because your cells started the count down so at some point they will stop regenerating and kaput, we die.
