Good morning, Alfred. You really expounded well, here. I agree with you, science will get around to extending human life, even rejuvenating bodies- if not completely bio-engineering humans. We're seeing evidence for forays into this already. I am not opposed at all. Hopefully it will be a birth right, and not a system reward. I would like to think it won't be a dystopian battle. One of the things Star Trek tended to avoid is genetic engineering humans, and longevity- with the exception of showing in several instance how doing these things failed.

Maybe you and I will see it in our life times? 20 years ago, the science articles suggested it would be here already...
