Note, however, that today's scientists are gaining a deep understanding of the mechanics of genetics, proteins, and the way the human body works. Trial and error is on its way out. I personally believe (and it is only a belief) that some people alive now will continue to live (in some form) until the end of our universe.

I wouldn't get too concerned about living forever. So far Humans have managed to cure about four diseases and most "medicine" still involves either cutting you up with a knife, bombarding you with radiation or flooding your system with chemicals on a kind of trial and error basis.

There has been talk of this for a while now so its interesting to hear they are going to start implementing it. Only concern is if this makes people live longer (and possibly with technological development - forever) then the world will soon become hugely overpopulated.
