      I don`t think that nature will allow us live forever. As we get to old age we tend to get weak and lose our cells for thinking properly, vision and so on.

      I don’t think so. The oldest living person recorded was about 120 years old, and scientists think we might be able to live even longer, but there would be a big gap between that and living forever. At the moment, we generally stop growing when we become adults, so we would need to change that before thinking about living forever.
