@bobgarcia : "stop people from dying" is refering to Anakin and Padme, but "using midiclorians to create life" refers to what else then Anakin? Why else would this sentence be there anyway then..It refers to Sidious "creating life" to keep Vader alive! Further to that, recall, "to cheat death is a power only one has achieved, but if we work together, I know we can discover the secret." He was never referring to saving Padme, but saving Vader.
Technically, nothing Sidious ever said to Anakin was a lie.
It was a lie from the point of view that he said that it was possible in the first place and then they will try to find the secret.. In fact it is too late to look or go back since now he is keeping him.
Anakin seeks the power to beat death in AOTC which eventually turns that he want to use that power for padme and not for himself.
