Nice share OP. Ray Kurzweil has been predicting significant advances in this area over the next 20 years and he has a pretty good track record of predicting things. A fascinating topic both the science and the potential results. The ramifications of adding another 20+ years of life and to be in middle age and still be "young" would be very interesting in terms of career opportunities, dating, families, etc. For example, you could have 4 or even 5 generations of a family living together.

Yes - that will happen - if you do the right thing in terms of diet, supplements, high-tech treatments then I predict that those who can afford it will look like well-kept 50 year olds in their 80s.

Even today you have this happening. But that does not make you immortal.

Also the tech will be certainly super-expensive. 99% of humanity won't afford even the poor-man-package. If there will be a technology out there to expand it to 120 while looking bangable, then it will be something that only people worth over 100 mio. $ will be able to afford.
