Life Extensionists
Some life extensionists, such as those who practice cryonics, have the hope that humans may someday become immortal through technological developments that may be used to correct the cause of "death" of the person held in cryonic suspension.
Biogerontologist Marios Kyriazis suggested that biological immortality in humans is an inevitable consequence of natural evolution. His extreme lifespans through perpetual-equalising interventions (ELPIs) theory proposes that the ability to attain indefinite lifespans is inherent in human biology, and that there will come a time when humans will continue to develop their intelligence by living indefinitely, rather than through evolution by natural selection.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
