Aecioo 03/24/12 7:23:00 AM #4:	The show Supernatural deals with this briefly. SPOILERS I GUESS There is someone who discovers a way to become immortal, but his body is constantly degrading so he has to steal working body parts from living people to keep himself functional. So you can cut him up and stuff, but he'll still be alive and you can put him back together if you fix him, aka he will go blind from his eyes getting old, but then he can surgically remove eyes from a living person and put them in himself and that's how he continues "functioning".

ShadowHalo17 03/24/12 7:33:00 AM #8:	As I said, I've always thought of immortals as those who can't die by natural causes but can still be shot in the head and killed (or any harmful act such as that). While invincibility/invulnerability means you can't be killed by others but you can still die by natural causes... I guess. -- ~Halo Rolling around at the speed of sound. http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/2417/sonicspeed.jpg <cite>ShadowHalo17 posted [p:944087] in As far as ...

Even if you don't die from old age, your body will eventually become so old, it can't do anything because it wasn't designed to exist for so long. But eh, I can only speak for us puny humans. Sayians, etc are different from us. Of course I did bring this up because of DBZ, but it's still a genuine concept that I'm interested in discussing. Obviously there has been no immortals in real life, so it's essentially just a fictional concept only. Which means it can be altered. You bring up a good point though. If puny humans were to discover immortality, it could turn out to be worse than death. Living as an old, decaying person that can't do anything, but forever unable to die. Eesh. That is partly why I would never wish for immortality. Mainly because I see no reason to even WANT to live forever. It's stupid. Life only means something because of the short time we have with it. You get infinite time and it'd probably get boring and very lonely.

So if someone stabs her through the chest, it won't kill her. But if someone cut her arm off, she'd just be stuck living forever with a missing arm.
