Question of the Day: Will Human Immortality Be Achieved By The End Of The Century?

In this (somewhat) funny piece by Hank Pellissier Hey Kids, Don’t Forget to Take My Brain Out of the Freezer, he tell his daughters (ages 6 and 10) that they are going to live forever. In the comments, he writes:

Even by present standards, they will live until 2080 or 2090 - by then immortality has a very strong chance of being established.

Do you think he's right? Will our children (if not us) never have to die? Was I born too damn earlier? Damn, why couldn't I have been born later, maybe even in this century instead of the last. So close...
