Actuallly IMO the immortality is closer that many other people think. Basically all you need is to solve is the damage of the brain cells during the life. Everything else could be replaced.

Want to live Forever?
Why on Earth would I want to live forever if I'm still going to be bald?
By far, one of the most popular theories of aging is the “Free Radical Theory of Aging.” This theory was first proposed by Dr. Denham Harman,5 and postulates that aging results from an accumulation of changes caused by reactions in the body initiated by highly reactive molecules known as “free radicals.” The changes induced by free radicals are believed to be a major cause of aging, disease development or death. A major premise in this theory is that free radicals and their precursors may be produced endogenously (within the body) through normal metabolic processes, or exogenously (outside the body) from sources such as cigarette smoking.
Aging", along with all of the degenerative conditions that go hand-in-hand with it, greatly accelerates. The disease Progeria demonstrates this. It is a rare disease that affects children: They have an inability to produce metabolic antioxidant enzymes, and therefore, go through all of the uncomfortable conditions of "aging" at an extremely accelerated rate. At 10 years old, they look, feel and are biologically very old and in poor health. If they were producing a normal amount of antioxidants, this would not happen.

to stay at a steady age youde have to take the injection about every 5 to 10 years, or if you prefer a more mature look, every 20!
There is howver the worry that if not kept in check you could go through puberty many times, ending up either 30 foot tall, with infrasonic vocal cords or a 60 foot penis due to the growth spurts etc in puberty.......but that may not be a problem!

I always thought that "Highlander" was the best movie about imortality.

Warning to Children
Children, if you dare to think
Of the greatness, rareness, muchness
Fewness of this precious only
Endless world in which you say
You live, you think of things like this:
Blocks of slate enclosing dappled
Red and green, enclosing tawny
Yellow nets, enclosing white
And black acres of dominoes,
Where a neat brown paper parcel
Tempts you to untie the string.
In the parcel a small island,
On the island a large tree,
On the tree a husky fruit.
Strip the husk and pare the rind off:
In the kernel you will see
Blocks of slate enclosed by dappled
Red and green, enclosed by tawny
Yellow nets, enclosed by white
And black acres of dominoes,
Where the same brown paper parcel -
Children, leave the string alone!
For who dares undo the parcel
Finds himself at once inside it,
On the island, in the fruit,
Blocks of slate about his head,
Finds himself enclosed by dappled
Green and red, enclosed by yellow
Tawny nets, enclosed by black
And white acres of dominoes,
With the same brown paper parcel
Still untied upon his knee.
And, if he then should dare to think
Of the fewness, muchness, rareness,
Greatness of this endless only
Precious world in which he says
he lives - he then unties the string.
Robert Graves
