What's the meaning of 「〜どんなに抵抗しようとも限り…」
The sentence is invalid. That 限り shouldn't be there. Remove it and the
sentence becomes grammatical:

> どんなに抵抗しようとも生きている人はいつかは死ぬ。(However much they may resist, living humans must
> eventually die.)

Or, if 限り should be used at all, it ought to be placed after 生きている.

> どんなに抵抗しようとも生きている限り人はいつかは死ぬ。(However much they may resist, as long as they
> are alive humans are bound to die eventually. )

Here's the rundown on the constructions in question.

・Verb(masu-stem) Phrase + **ようとも**... → **even if** S VP, ...

・ **どんなに** + Verb(masu-stem) Phrase + **ようとも** , ... → **however much** S VP,
...

・Verb(adnominal) Phrase + **限り** , ... → **as long as** S VP, ....

These conversions are not as precise as they could be, but I hope they are
good enough to convey the general idea.
