Biology/Is it possible?

Question
Is it possible that we in the future can develop a system so that we can keep the same age for eternity (not die, but have tge same age, for example 25 years, forever)?
Dear Kristian,
Current research into aging may make it possible for the aging process to be dramatically arrested. But we will not be able to live forever. It is more likely that technology would allow us to *appear* and *feel* young to the age of about 125, but then we'd die "young" and not old and wrinkly.
Small consolation.
