Sure. Modern medicine has allowed humans to live progrossively longer lives. The average life expectancy may get into the 80s soon enough.

One day we could easily have immortality

Look into:
Nanotechnology-
Working on the atomic level we could one day have atomic sized computer which we have in our bodies stopping aging and disease in a way we could create artificial immune systems.

Brain Machine Interface-
We could simply download ourselves. And be uploaded anytime and never cease to exist.

We might be that generation or we might be the last generation to fear death. Lets see in the next 25 years

Yeah! Then we won’t have to die when we’re 75!
Now we can die when we’re 115! And when we’re so old, we already wanna die! :D

Telomeres are the key.

Eventually 120 to 160 year life spans, but not for another 50-100 years when genetic engineering gets better.

This would be great if people took advantage of it and pursued their doctorates before having children. But a lot of people just reproduce at 18 and don’t even go to college. In which case it would be a tremendous burden to society. Imagine billions of uneducated people living for so long. We would have a regressive society and every nation would be bankrupt.

We’ll have to relocate people to other moons and planets because the Earth cannot possibly sustain billions upon billions of people into old age, forever.
