Some trees seems able to live up to ten of thousands of years, for example the Halocarpus franklinii. This is not eternity. Most mammal species live up to some millions years, what did you do to live beyond the "normal" lifespan of the human species? The Earth may have some life forms for one billion years, did you plan to live that long? more? if yes, how? The Sun may shine for five more billions years, if it was a convective star, it could burn for one trillon of years or so. Are you interested in technology about that? Some stars may be burning until the year One billion of billions, are you interested in interstellar travel to jump from star to star? The action particles may have a wavelenght near 10^37 light year, when the universe will have that age, they will enter our cosmological horizon and will start the big crunch. Are you interested to "live" ten billions of billions of billions of billions of years in a near empty, frigid, dark universe? After 10^38 years, the universe will collapse in a big crunch, (at least that is what it seems to have done in the past, before our last "big-bang"). How did you plan to survive that? I must point out that, at this level, you are far, far from eternity, in fact, you have not even started the first step to it. In fact, only an action giving you an infinite life expectancy can start an eternity program. I think "eternity" is merly a sign of irresponsability and asking for a dead end religiosity. Think that our natural predator, the car, let us only some 3,000 years life expectancy, asking for far beyond that must be justified by some special actions.
