if we attain immortality, do we cease to be alive?
Life and death cannot exist without one another. The concept of life depends on the fact that we can die. Just as we need woman to know what man is, we need life to know death - and vice versa.
So if I or you or we become immortal, we lose death. And if we lose death and the concept of death, we also lose life.
When I or you or we become immortal, we stop living. If we weren't immortal and we stopped living we would die. So what happens when we become immortal? Do we enter another state of being? Do we become ghosts - neither alive nor dead?
That's it for now...ciao, adios, au revoir...and remember...to be born again first you must die

interesting...yea it perfectly makes sense and is a time and again asked question...could go on arguing and talking abt this topic for hrs..nice post...hope to see more interesting ones from you
Do we not also need immortality to know what mortality is? The question is CAN something mortal become immortal or vice versa? Or does immortality pervade this mortal existence? Are they mutually exclusive like being alive or dead?
Personally I think that mortality plays in the lap of immortality. Nothing can escape its touch (of immortality).
absolutely true anonymous...
but...that being said...
that immortality vs. mortality deserves another post...dvitiya only looks at one aspect of the debate...
