Our genes were designed to program cell death at some point after losing some efficiency with every cell division. Organism become immortal (jellyfish and waterbears) due to their habitats being hostile conditions and limited food supply. Genes adapt to prolong the survival of the species but immortalizing these their bodies. </p>\n<p>For species that live where resources are plenty, the course of survival was to reproduce thus we see humans, animals and plants go towards this route of evolution.
