Abstract

Since time immemorial, even before the emergence of scientific proofs, man has probably always believed that we are the highest form of creature existing in this planet, and perhaps even in the entire universe. Apart from the capacity to perform things that other organisms cannot, biologically speaking, we remain the highest form in the way our different body parts, up to the single cell in our body, are specialized to perform certain functions. More so, humans are capable of higher cognitive thinking as proven by the huge body of knowledge that science has become. Perhaps at some point, we started think that we literally conquer everything until we remember that there is actually someone who is a lot bigger than us, who is the true master of all these sophistication and who created the highest form of creature, the Supreme Being. Realization of how small we really are only strikes when we are unable to defeat our greatest limitation, death. And as people are nearing it, death becomes greatly feared. For some, it is an ugly reality yet it is completely inevitable - but is it? In the desire to maintain to eradicate sickness and to eventually conquer death, science has, one again, intervened. If only humans can live forever, away from the possibility of deterioration that old age can bring, then the world will be filled with individuals in their best health conditions, worry-free of the perils of sickness and diseases.
