Physical immortality through moral living

Physical immortality through moral living is the idea that life can be prolonged indefinitely in this world by living in a strict adherence with a particular moral doctrine. It may further include a concept of disease as being of a moral character, and consequently that disease (and death) must be overcome through moral and religious acts, such as prayer and fasting, to the exclusion of medicine and other treatments. Adherents to such philosophies have included "Live-Forever" Jones.
