The most common cause of death in Destyntine is organ failure, which is inevitable for those with organic organs.

Bionics have allowed for humans to easily live past a hundred years, with the average life expectancy of those who have at least one bionic organ is 109 years. Males equipped with a bionic part live on average 106 years while females live 112. Although most people who have been recorded as deceased have been recorded with bionic organs dating back to the late 22nd century, so it is currently unknown how long the current generation will live on average. It is said by scientists and and doctors alike, that the current generation if equipped with modern bionics could live 150+ years. It has long been believed by the Destynic scientific community that immortality may just be possible.
