I think that the regeneration of all cells exists in few creatures
most notably clams and lobsters.
In humans, or indeed any vertebrates, some cells cannot be be indefinitely regenerated.
As such, we will always die.

No, indeed,
at some point we will be dead and then we will not be made of anything.

People are very resistant to this idea.
I think you all take some perverse comfort in impending death.
The statement "everybody always dies" is typically said with a certain quiet glee.
Our brains are only kinds of machine, and we are only the processes taking place in those machines. Keeping a person alive forever is just a matter of maintaining the process in some form, any form.

But forever is not attainable.
I mean, we need to continually be developing just for that person and planets do not last all that long really.
