How long will it be before our technology allows for rejuvenation on a celullar level, instead of merely cosmetic?
And would you use it once your years start adding up?
We're getting close, what with stem cell research and 3-d printing organs. We just need a little push to get towards near immortality. But it would be expensive, and very costly over time.
But it's not as far fetched as it was even 30 years ago. For the last few decades medicine has moved towards allowing people to live longer and that came with the problem that the quality of life went down with age. Now it's moving towards not only living longer but healthier even in old age.
It's the strangest thing to think that perhaps within our lifetime we could see the emergence of new medical treatments that slow the deterioration of our bodies, or allow us to replace parts so we can life longer and feel better.

The immortal jellyfish was on an episode of octonauts. Yay for educational children's tv shows.
Theory still stands!!!
