Moores law seems to be holding true. I think there is a solid chance senescence could be slowed or stopped within our lifetimes. I for one would love to be indefinitely extended. My ultimate goal is to have my consciousness on software and travel the universe.

I feel as though the elite in society will definitely strike down any technology that results in life expansion. My view is definitely biased because I live in the United States, but I feel as though the holders of the wealth will not let the common man enjoy the fruits of modern science.

Google thinks we will be uploading our brains/minds by 2045 and therefore be digitally immortal.
