Is there a proof that we have to die? Or that immortality for a human is impossible? Seems more like a lot in the medical field have experienced so much death that they simply have accepted it for a fact.

If you asked someone centuries back if we would go to the moon, they will laugh you out of the room. Similarly, if you said that people will consistently live to their 90+ years of age.

It seem pretty likely that we have to die, based on the second law of thermodynamics. The whole universe has to end eventually, after many trillions of years. There's no physical law that would stop a person sticking around for those trillions of years, but it would be technologically very difficult.
