Why we Die

It's all about the telomeres.  Your DNA gets shortened as your cells constanly divide causing aging. 

So we have two options here:

1. Work on Genetic Therapy startegies to extend our lifespan to thousands of years.

2. Design AI equal in cognitive capacity to humans and upload our thoughts experiences etc. to a robot.

I vote for the latter, because I want a powerful robot claw in the future, I was going to go with a large laser canon, but if I have a crazy dream, I might set that thing off in the middle of the night and destroy my aparment. 

Let me re-establish my other theory that I had.

Besides organisms within our body that deteriorates our body (as well as causing us to age), I believe that apart of this energy that deteriorates us comes from the soul. The soul being of pure energy (whether you consider it divine or another form of energy) power and temporally sustaining but over time deteriorates our body. The soul is thus released at the time of death and undergoes another transformation (or transcedental stage) where it is another form (in this case the soul goes to the Divine Empyrean or Hell).

The soul is from Allah.  Allah blew into us from His soul.  Therefore it is impossible to imply that the soul deteriorates or transforms.  At the time of death, like brother muhammad77 related in the article, the soul is released from the body and taken in by angels.  At the time of death our soul is just being moved from one temporary environment (dunya, or the worldly life) into another, eternal environment (al akhira).

the way it is released from the body of a believer differs from the way it is released from the body of a disbeliever.  the former is less painful than the latter.

 what else are you trying to figure out about death?  it's like you're doing brain surgery here. there's nothing else to dissect!
