C
It’s a natural thing to live forever.

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -No matter how advanced technology gets, it might be impossible for our bodies to go on forever. Some researchers believe there’s a limit on how long it’s physically possible to live: perhaps 125 years. But what if we don’t need our bodies at all?

Detailed explanation-2: -While the population can expect to live longer lives on average, the human lifespan might have a cap. Scientists believe that the human lifespan could be anywhere from 120-150 years long, but not longer than that, due to accumulating hallmarks of aging and chronic disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -The authors of this paper argue that research with the explicit aim of extending the human lifespan is both undesirable and morally unacceptable. They present three serious objections, relating to justice, the community and the meaning of life.

Detailed explanation-4: -Everyone you know will die. Things will get boring. Humanity will evolve beyond you. Your memories will fade. The cold vacuum of space awaits. 19-May-2017
