We don't know for sure. After a certain number of replications our cells just start losing that ability and start dying off. We don't really know why.

Answer 3

Our days are precious because they are numbered.

Answer 4

I think there is something about blood becoming so laden with waste that the person dies. Even if we found a "cure" for dying, people over about 150 would be blithering idiots, as the folds in the brain smooth over time, and those very folds are what keeps a person sentient.

Answer 8

There are soo many theories that tells u about cellular ageing... One of those is free radical theory. Free radicals (reactive oxygen species), they basically accumulate in the cells that are basically genotoxic. They damage the DNA. If the damage is beyond repair, they accumulate and they are passed to the daughter cells via mitosis. So basically the damage is incorporated into the DNA and passed on to the progeny cells. So... This leads to loss of function of a cell... Cells are basic component of life. Loss of function =death. Hope this clears atleast a little..

Answer 9

According to the Bible that is still God's original purpose when he created the earth. The rebellion in Eden did not thwart God’s original purpose for mankind and the earth. God’s perfect love and sense of justice moved him to provide a way to free us from the bondage of inherited sin and death. The apostle Paul explained: “The wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) Lovingly, God “gave his only-begotten Son [Jesus Christ], so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) By offering himself willingly as a ransom sacrifice, Jesus redeemed all that was lost through Adam.
