Given the ever expanding medical technology, are humans supposed to live forever?
Medical advances in medications, transplantations, prostheses, nano surgeries, etc, are allowing humans to live longer. At least one researcher in the area of gerontology at MIT supports the notion that with these advances, humans could live forever.

I'm not sure what you mean by this question. But no, living forever would be a horrible torture. As you have probably noticed, the older you are, the faster you perceive time to be flowing. Human psychology is not prepared for lasting 1000s of years, let alone forever. Also, we'd have to stop having children. So no, I think the point of medicine is to increase the quality of life, not the quantity. Side: no
