"I want to live forever"

Genes live for ever, why shouldn't I

That's a questions I have been thinking on. All the living thing in existence have genes that are as old as when life came to being on earth. Yea, i may look like a 20 year young adult but man, my genes are really old, really old. How is that possible....
The X and Y chromosomes in our bodies are from our parents, the X and Y in them were from their parents and so on and so on. The genes may be mutating year after year, offspring after offspring but they are still the initial X and Y from our ancestors who lived thousand of years ago...the point is the genes never die till the species is extinct.
Richard Dawkins describes the carriers of the genes, all living things 'vehicles'. We have channeled the genes over thousands of years carrying them and passing them of to our offspring.
Partly i think i have to come to an understanding of why some men want to live forever. My genes want to live for ever why should i? This might be why some men are trying all possible ways to extent their lives. Some are even getting preserved in liquid nitrogen tanks under nuclear bunks so that should mam ever find a way to live forever they will be revived and get the chance.
Personally i believe the day we learn how to live forever that is the day we shall have no need to reproduces as the core purpose of life that nature gave us ; let the genes live forever will be achieved. There will be no need for sexual organs, there will be no need for different genders there will be only being in the highest form of evolution..
