Purpose
This article began as a redirect to an episode of Batman: The Animated Series, and spent awhile as a redirect to Elixir of life. I redirected it to Immortality recently, with the intent of eventually creating its own article.

Why a separate article from Immortality? Because "eternal youth" is an ancient phrase and concept of its own, a notable subset of immortality, but distinct from other approaches to it. Most cybernetic paths to immortality regard biological youth as irrelevant, and the many beliefs in spiritual immortality do not presume the flesh to be as important. Thus, the Immortality article (still needing a lot of work at this writing) is already full with covering wider ground. Since other forms of immortality have separate articles, eternal youth should have one as well.

One element that can be addressed here is the seeming paradox that entropy requires all living beings to die, but even the ancients noticed that birth and growth defied entropy, hence the postulate of eternal youth. Suitably referenced, NPOV and NOR, of course.

Finally, a request that people refrain from demanding merges or deletions of this article, at least without discussing it here first. Thanks. --Yamara ✉  15:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Indivuals who do not age
Shouldn't this reference the few people that have disorders that prevent them from ageing, such as Gabby Williams? 108.217.45.210 (talk) 02:27, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
