That's exactly the point I made in a debate with theadvancedapes yesterday: Entropy rules the universe. Period. Exclamation point. End of story. The laws of thermodynamics certainly do not lend themselves to immortality. Medically speaking, we can keep putting more fingers in the dike, but its gonna collapse eventually.

I agree with that. My interpretation is that we are talking mortality with a lowercase m.
