Second Law is only applicable to isolated systems. We aren’t living in an isolated system. The fact we are alive is because entropy elsewhere is increasing - but within us we have order.

Therefore...a person may live for a very long time while his environment increases in entropy and loses all useful energy ...then the living being will have no more energy available to use to stay ordered, and being an isolated system, will eventually become disordered till death and beyond.

IMHO
