Humanity’s oldest question
From ancient myths to modern labs, humans have always asked:
Can we live forever?
Today, what once seemed like fantasy is increasingly being explored through:
- Regenerative medicine
- Anti-aging biotechnology
- Artificial intelligence and digital legacy
- Cryopreservation and revival science
While physical immortality remains out of reach, science is actively extending lifespan — and some are aiming to push those limits further.
Scientific approaches to longevity
1. Biological life extension
Focuses on slowing, stopping, or reversing cellular aging. Includes research into:
- Senolytics
- Gene therapy
- Stem cell regeneration
- Epigenetic reprogramming
- AI-driven longevity predictions
While success in animals is promising, human trials are still in early stages.
2. Cryonics and cryopreservation
Preserving the brain and/or body at ultra-low temperatures after legal death, with the hope of future revival.
- Not a cure
- Not proven
- But biologically plausible — especially for preserving structure
Cryonics may be the only method that bridges today’s limits with tomorrow’s unknowns.
3. Mind uploading and digital immortality
Theoretical idea that consciousness could be transferred to a non-biological medium. Still highly speculative and debated in both neuroscience and philosophy.
The ethics of immortality
The possibility of conquering death raises serious ethical concerns.
1. Inequality of access
Who gets to live longer — or indefinitely? Will it be only the wealthy? Could this deepen global inequality?
2. Overpopulation and resources
Could an immortal population exhaust Earth’s capacity? Or would advanced technology solve those problems too?
3. Psychological toll
Would living forever bring joy, or exhaustion? Could humans cope with infinite time, loss, and change?
4. What is a meaningful life?
Many argue that death gives life urgency, meaning, and structure. Would immortality diminish that?
There’s no consensus — only deeper questions.
Supporters say: we already fight death
Proponents of life extension argue:
- Vaccines, surgeries, and emergency medicine all delay death
- Aging causes more suffering than any single disease
- Extending life could mean more time with loved ones, more contributions to society, and more chances to evolve
They ask not why extend life — but why not, if suffering can be reduced.
Critics say: death is natural — and necessary
Those critical of the immortality movement believe:
- Mortality gives shape to our lives
- Accepting death brings peace
- Pursuing endless life may create societal and spiritual problems
In this view, the goal should be a good life and a good death, not endless deferral.
Where cryonics fits in
Cryonics — as practiced at Tomorrow.bio — isn’t about eternal life. It’s about preserving people at the moment of legal death, in hopes that future technology may one day:
- Cure the condition that caused death
- Restore the person to consciousness and health
- Allow them to rejoin society in a new era
It’s speculative. But for some, it’s a meaningful, rational response to death — one based on possibility, not superstition.

Questions we all have to ask
- Would you want to live forever — and why?
- What do you think makes a life complete?
- Would you extend life if you could — for yourself, or someone you love?
The immortality debate may not be solved soon. But it invites us to rethink everything about what it means to be alive.
About Tomorrow.bio
At Tomorrow.bio, we are dedicated to advancing the science of cryopreservation with the goal of giving people and pets a second chance at life. As Europe’s leading cryopreservation provider, we focus on rapid, high-quality standby, stabilization, and storage of terminal patients — preserving them until future medical technologies may allow revival and treatment.
