We're in agreement - you saw how I said "It's possible (maybe)", right? Someone 100 or 200 years ago would have been 100% CORRECT to say "it's pretty unlikely" that they could go to the moon! I think it's also quite possible that we WILL develop a way to have immortality - and I think that possibility is on a par with creating human-level intelligence artificially. For either, there's no clear path for how to get there, so barring some unforeseen breakthrough - it's gonna be a while, at best. I try not to engage in wishful thinking.
