well, it could be possible. the science to it would be involving stopping your cells and all parts of your body from growing, making it so you stay at the same age for a long time. but this is just my theory.
Biokinesis is the ability to change, grow, decay and rearange your bodies sells, if this is possible then you might be able to increase your longevity but in the end your going to end up getting hit by a bus or something.
People could say they cheated death. In my opinion though, if it is your time to go, you go. You could extend the health of your body through good nutrition, exercise, getting enough sleep and avoiding pollutants, but that would just make you age slower in appearance.
Even if there was a spell/ritual to do such a thing, it would drain you so much that death or illness would be likely.
I believe we are here to learn a lesson once you have finished the course it will be time to move on to the next lesson, I see my soul as an old soul I've been on the path for what seems like forever but every life time has brought me closer to the universal source. One day I will not have to come unless I want to. We are the sum of what we've been,are, and what we will be.
BUT i digress we are given X amount of time to learn this lesson when completed you graduate to the next one ever striving for karmic perfection.Thats my two bits worth.

I heard that it's possible to renew your soul, cleansing it of all the life lessons that you have learned in order to become a new soul. After this you are sent back to Earth in order to learn new life lessons. I honestly prefer to believe this, as being an old soul is certainly not something I want to be.
For one, you are perhaps not allowed to come back to Earth. No offense to anyone's beliefs but I prefer Earth to whatever afterlife awaits us. In this afterlife we would be all knowing and I honestly prefer surprises. In this afterlife there would no chaos, no diversity... everyone would simply agree with each other. In my humble opinion that simply sounds boring.
Another thing is that if you grow to the point of being an old soul, having learned all of your life lessons, you are no longer flawed. Our flaws are what make us human, even if they are inconvenient. We are a balance of both dark and light. This is called Tao and it is what I firmly believe makes the universe work. There can be no light without darkness.
Now as for cheating death, there is a fabled elixir of youth that alchemists once strove to create. With this elixir one would be able to cheat old age, reattaining their youth and possibly remaining young. This would be a way to cheat death, at least in one sense.
As for scientific possibilities they have discovered a way to reverse aging in mice, making them young again. It is only a matter of time before they discover how to achieve this in humans.
Did they seriously find a way to stop or reverse the aging process in mice? 0.o
That seems improbable, because of the simple fact that in order to stop something from decaying you would have to cease its function by either freezing it or somehow stopping time. Even though I am highly skeptical, I would not refute it or believe it without seeing the lab reports myself.
Something that I thought to be relevant and curious:
Ive not seen anything about mice and the aging process, but there is an animal that scientists are looking into in hopes of figuring out how they function. I present exhibit A: the Turritopsis nutricula, better known as the immortal jellyfish. Essentially, somehow the immortal jellyfish is able to revert its body back into its youngest form, the polyp, after reproduction.
"It is through cell development process of transdifferentiation. What this means is that it can alter the differentiated state of the cell and transform it into a new cell. In this process of transdifferentiation, the medusa of the immortal jellyfish is transformed into the polyps of a new polyp colony. First, the umbrella reverts itself and then the tentacles and mesoglea get reabsorbed. The reverted medusa then attaches itself to the substrate by the end that had been at the opposite end of the umbrella and starts giving rise to new polyps to form the new colony. Theoretically, this process can go on infinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish immortal. " Essentially, its a type of rebirth. How neat!
Some scientists who are part of the Transhumanism movement proposed the idea that death occurs from chronological aging, and the deterioration and lack of cellular life. The Hayflick Phenomenon, discovered back in the early 1960s, is the number of times a cell population can expand and divide before eventually ceasing in creation. Theoretically, if they were able to determine what exactly causes the cease of production- the body would no longer deteriorate as it does Some organisms have nearly achieved this. Types of bacteria in colony levels, water bears. hydras, and as mentioned, the immortal jellyfish.
But this is science, and not magick. I do not believe that you could achieve something like that by using magick. I do not believe in Biokinesis, nor do I think a spell or something similar would be able to change or alter your body in a way that would prolong your life-span. When its your time, its your time.
