No,people do not want to die. They desire to live and enjoy life. For that reason every effort is made to stamp out sickness and disease, and to extend life.
True the mere fact that death is such a common experience is little comfort.
But study of aging and the problems of the aged has become a serious science. Reputable scientists feel that they are on the verge of discovering the cause of aging. Some think that aging is programmed in the genes. Others feel that it is the accumulated result of damaging diseases and harmful by-products of metabolism. Still others attribute aging to hormones or the immune system. Scientists feel that if the cause of aging can be isolated, then perhaps it can be eliminated.
No one knows exactly what the process of aging is or why it runs a different course in different people, Nor does anyone know how to increase human longevity.
Whether you realize it or not, you are much older than you may think. Biological science tells us that at birth, a woman’s ovaries already contain all the ova, or eggs, that she will ever produce. This means that if your mother was 30 years of age at the time of your conception, the egg that eventually became you was already 30 years old.
That probably does not make you feel older, but day by day, you are getting older. Young or old, all of us are aging, and some of us are interested in slowing down that process—if not actually stopping it.
The hope of endless life was a major theme of Jesus’ preaching. His faithful follower Peter once said to him: “You have sayings of everlasting life.” (John 6:68) So the Bible mean it when it speaks of everlasting life.

Naomi@ You still dont get the point do you? If we were meant to die there would be no grieving or feeling of loss and pain. It would be part of our make up. But it isn't is it? We grieve when we lose a loved one and the pain of that loss can linger for years. So at the end of the day, We werent meant to die!
Bye Bye for now.
Bye Bye for now.
Sin isn't inherited. The sins of a father are not passed on to the sons. Although upbringing may make it more difficult to avoid repeating the same mistakes. One can grieve loss whether it is meant to be or inevitable. It us a fantasy to believe one should live forever. To exist forever is more debatable.
