This is what Stem Cells are all about. The basic theory is that if cells can be made once, in the fetus, they can be made again. It’s really picking speed nowadays, Health care will be very different 50 years down the lane.

And to all religious fanatics who will inevitably invade this thread: Allah SWT commands Muslims to work hard and strive to obtain knowledge. And the more you research, the more knowledge HE will give.

Stem cells are not about longevity or immortality. It has to do with adding news cells to dying or dead cells. Cloning has been done but that is again not immortality.

Human cell has lasted to 137 years I think. This was an attempt to see how long cells can live with all conditions ‘perfect’.

Cells have programmed genes meaning they will die at some point when their machinery start failing inside. (Crudely explained)

Theoretically ALL vital organs except brain can be transplanted but there are many many problems come with that.

P.S. Brain (nerve) cells cannot regerate. Nor brain can be ‘transplanted’.
