The soul, your whole being, is the brain-stem, not the brain, some children are born without a brain and still have a personality, so it`s located in your brain-stem, or the whole thing, to say, the problem with living forever, is that your soul ages, common misconception is that the body ages, but it`s not true, the body is maintaned by cells who are automtically run by DNA, it`s your being that ages, the soul, when that happens, the body follows, problem with maintaining the cells in your soul, is that if you replace them all, it wouldn`t be you anymore, so you`re stuck with the same cells all your life, if you for example, drink alot, or are stressed alot, working hard, and so fourth, your soul ages faster, especially if it`s negative stress, you stay younger if you live healthy and workout normally, use your body normally, but the soul ages, so there`s not possible to live forever, the more complex you are born, or, intelligent, to say, the longer you live, that`s why animals lives shorter, the more complex you are built, the longer it takes to break you down, the same goes with plants also and trees

In short,
ultimately, the soul will be reunited with the body.

In the Messianic Era, the resurrection of the dead will usher in a "World to come"
of eternal physical life,
in which "death will be eradicated forever."
Isaiah 25:8

God declares in the Word.... that soul life is in the blood.

A. It is impossible to live without a brain.
B. The existence of a "soul" is an opinion,
with zero evidence.
C. A connection between aging of cells and
your hypothetical "soul" has no demonstrable basis.

Trees can live thousands of years and various organisms
including some trees are immortal. ( depending on how one defines it)

Your try at a theory needs more work.

Is this just another rehash of the brain stem posts that pop up every few months?
