Or, even worse, check THIS out, labelled "Immortality Reality Check:"

"Ask enough gerontologists, biologists, geneticists, and biotech
entrepreneurs about the potential for immortality, and you'll get a range
of conflicting answers that fall into three camps: Forget It, Could Be,
and Can Do. Almost all agree that immortality won't mean literally living
forever. Eventually, everyone will step in front of a hovercar or succumb
to an ubervirus of mysterious origin. Still, doesn't "almost forever"
sound pretty good? Based on our conversations with the experts, here's the
realm of possible scenarios for gauging your chances of crossing the
rainbow bridge into superlongevity."
They don't anticipate anyone's got a good shot at living past 200 who's
alive today. "If you are Minus 20: Bingo!"
