In no particular order:

* Stop smoking
* Stop drinking alcohol
* Stop consuming sugar
* Don't do drugs (yes, including marijuana)
* Get all of your vaccinations

That, alone, will increase a person's lifespan 10-20 years depending upon various biological and environmental factors.

For either ethical or intellectual reasons, a breakthrough hasn't been made in that biological field.

no one wants you to live forever, even with mortality we cant sustain the current populous growth forever. IF you get to live forever, they would have to castrate you

It also turns out neural networks complex enough to produce general intelligence are really difficult to emulate on Turing machines.
