Why do we die? Why is it mandatory for us to come to an end? There should be a way to avoid death.?

There r 3 theories of death 1)programmed senescence theory - the body is composed of cells all cells have an in built time clock this controls the birth growth sequence which finally comes to degeneration of the cells             \n2)ERROR & DAMAGE THEORY - the 2nd theory states that death (due to degradation of cells) is due to the assault of the environmental factors such as heat, wind etc on the system it is clearly known that uv rays destroy the DNA & RNA which is vital to the body for carrying out functions such as transcription of proteins translation of new DNA etc\n3) a branch of the error & damage theory states various reasons such as "free radical formation theory, basal metabolism theory" etc

Whether a person chooses to take their life prematurely or not, is their decision.  As a nurse for 35 years, I have seen many people die a slow painful death, so I can understand the desire to end ones suffering.  I couldn't  do it though, because I would feel there must be a reason for me to stay on this earth a little longer.  To shorten my life,  I would become  accountable to a higher power.  The one who gave me life in the first place and really is the only one who has the right to take mine away.

People are programmed to die, as are all life forms (except single-celled organisms). If people didn't die of natural causes and insisted on breeding, the world would be even more overpopulated than it is now. There would be a much slower rate of evolutionary change, far less genetic variation and consequently, if we didn't die of old age we would certainly be killed by disease and predators, as we would not have kept up in the evolutionary race. And we wouldn't be the smarty-pants beings we are now. People die because their cells run out of capacity to reproduce effectively. It means that we don't take life for granted (or we can choose not to take it for granted) and we have some room for our kids.\n\nAs for how did life start? Ooh that IS contentious. But it would only have needed to have taken place once, and that would have been enough to create the amazing diversity of life we have today, given enough time. We have had enough time.\n\nYou can read the Bible, but a far more fun read is "The Science of Discworld" by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen.

I have also nearly died a bunch of times.\n\nI've spent a long time thinking about this and read a bunch of books. I'm not sure there is a real reason except to live happy and help others to live happy.\n\nIt sounds so simple and stupid, but we have to enjoy being alive (the near death expeirences were possible reminders that we took life for granted).\n\nTake extreme pleasure in the simple things. Freinds and family are all that really matter because money and all that other junk is just temporary.

I think that's like a "what's the meaning of life" question - it really can't be answered so just worry about how to live your life before you die, what's going to happen afterwards is a mystery and I think should be looked upon as an adventure that you never know where it's going to end up.

I don't really see a question here, but yes you are right. What better way to die than for something that you beleive gave you life and can offer you ever lasting peace. People take their God very seriously.

You are still alive, and you still have to finish your life here on earth.  You are here to decide and the rest of life is not all that important except that you live your decision to the end.

Really, no one knows when you die.\n\nBut... IF you really want to, there are ways to make yourself last longer but you won't know when you'll die.\n\nYou can eat on a good way.  Breakfast most, Lunch a little less than breakfast, Dinner a little less than lunch, snacks, a lot less than dinner!!!  Eat a lot of fruits and vege, get enough sleep!

I completely agree with your statement. Fear of death is nothing new in society so what better way to control the masses and tell them after death there is a life....people die its a fact of nature. Im just waiting to be turned into plant food!

DUDE.. If I wanted to know when I was going to die, I would go ahead and just kill myself and get it over with.  Knowing when you will die takes all the mystery and wonder out of life.  Not knowing is the greatest gift of all

OK. Why not?  Are you in control of when you die?  We can all "Kill Ourselves" if we wanted to.  Obviously, more people than not, don't want to die by their own hands. Other words, today is just as good of a day as tomorrow, except, we don't say when it ends.  Fate does.  Or call it what you will, but really any day to die is bad.  There's a good phrase that derives from the "American Indians" which says "Today is a good day to day".  And believe me, If we're all gonna die, isn't even a possibility.  WE ALL ARE GOING TO DIE.  NOT IF.  BUT WHEN.

I'd rather not live forever and enjoy life as much as I could. There's a reason why nature has a negative side to kill off the humans with diseases. Not only this, but if one was mortal, one would feel that he/she should try his/her best to achieve life to its fullest. Besides, who are we to play God and say that this person should live forever?

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about something that is inevatable. If I die and I cease to exist then I will not care, because I will not exist to care. I think it would be pretty much like it was before I was born and I suffered no ill effects from it then.

I fully beleive that if someone wants to die, they should be able to do it. The governemnt's not going to stop me if I really want to commit suicide. Pain should be able to be stopped -- one way or another. Death is as good a way as others. \nBy the way...I really wish doctors actually did no harm.

We are all on this earth for a very short time. You & I aren't speacial, we too will die. Make the most of this life while we are here, is the lesson we should get from this. Lets try to be thankful for this young mans life even though it was short. He died doing something he loved. In my book thats better then being layed up in a bed suffering for long time. I know it is hard, but after the, understandable, saddess life goes on and our time here is limited.

No, death can't be prohibited because it happens naturally. Yes, death can be prhibited in the sense if you are taking th elife of another.

I suspect you know this is true, but you wish it were otherwise.  That is, you don't disagree -- but you'd like to be able to disagree.\n\nI think the statement is completely true.  Death is nothing to the dead -- since they no longer experience anything.  But also, death is nothing to the living:  Since we can only die once and there's absolutely nothing we can do to prevent it, there's nothing to be gained from wondering or worrying about death.
