Why not stop your body from aging beyond a certain point? That would work, there must be a way to do it

There is no ''have to'' in life. You are what you make yourself to be. If you want to be just another pawn of a human being, go ahead, but you can be so much more.
 
Mortals fear Death. They fear the sunless lands to which she guides them. They feebly attempt to placate her. They do not love her. Once though, a long time ago, a dreamer celebrated her gift in a song, and came closer to a true description of Death than any mortal since:

Death is before me today:
Like the recovery of a sick man,
Like going forth into a garden after sickness

Death is before me today:
Like the odor of myrrh,
Like sitting under a sail in a good wind.

Death is before me today:
Like the course of a stream
Like the return of a man from the war-galley to his house.

Death is before me today:
Like the home that a man longs to see,
After years spent as a captive.

From "The Sandman"

Sure. But what happens if everybody decides to do it? It's an evolutionary dead end.
 
added to immortality being a "evolutionary dead end"...if everyone were to do it the civilization would not be able to sustain itself because of all the wars raging from overpopulation needs
 
So you not only imagine to placate death, you also imagine that you are somehow a unique member of the human species? That's some wild egoism.

No, I'm just as average as you or anyone else.

But I wouldn't let society get in the way of your dream, I'm not the slave of society, rather if I chose I could make it the opposite

If you want to be immortal, go ahead.
