I've heard this idea once, that the technology of the 21st century allows for the first generation of immortals: those that live 20 more years will encounter the first technology that can prolong death by another 20 years and be widely accessible. Then you live another 20 years. Within that time, new technology has extended life another 40 years. Then you live another 40. Keep this cycle going and we have immortality.
