Can death be avoided ?

Everybody is tasting death, rich or poor, powerful or weak the destiny of all is the same one day. & also nobody would like to die in any time I think so.
but today's technological advances has made some miracles which has made me thinking would death be avoided sometime in the future or far future ?

Can there be something special behind death ? What is your thoughts ?

      May 25 2012: Bharath, I think you may be the first person on this thread that gets it. we should celebrate death as we celebrate birth.

        May 25 2012: Exactly Andrew , as a matter of fact ,in my Hindu Culture, we are allowed to mourn a person's death for 10 days and on the 11th day (after the person dies),we are supposed to celebrate the person's death . Though it is a tough job we somehow forget to cry .

        Firstly I am very happy that you survived a battle with death.i too battled typhoid and came close to death..
        My opinions come because I went through religious books and this particular US Best seller "tuesdays with morrie" ...where insights, about life is said in a very beautiful manner...if this opinion of mine has not answered your query , please feel free to reply back..

        Cheers,
        Bharath

          May 28 2012: Cheers to you Bharath!
          As typhoid is unknown in my world, i have no real understanding of what you went through but i am thrilled that you are still here!
          I share my story in case it will help others to know that this can happen. I live in a very sanitized world where most victims of stroke or brain injury are out of sight and mind. This might not be the case where you live.
          I too have read Tuesday with mori and loved it and I am still very interested in your answer to my questtion.
          With Warmest regards,
          Debra
