Everyone dies. I wish everyone a long and happy life and Im all for medical advances that improve people's quality of life and prevent premature death from disease. However, death is natural and it happens for a reason.
If you believe in evolution then if we were supposed to live longer lives we would have evolved in that direction (Longevity would defenitly be a key trait that would definitly survive). If you accept creation and that God made everything the way he did for a reason then, death is still an important part of the picture.
Either way one looks at it, if we were meant to live forever, we would be doing so right now (or at least not dying of old age). God or evolution has determined that death should happen, though we may not like the idea very much.

It never hurts to try.
