Lol mortal.
There's more than one way to keep your feet out of the grave. Pick your favorite and take the leap.
Just remember, you're only gambling the rest of your life to try, and 100% of people who don't try, die.

Anyway, if you ever want we can meet up in the year 2200. I'll buy you a beer.

Not in practical terms and not for anyone but the very highest level of society. You can screw with telomeres and put stem cells into people but it will only do so much. Perhaps there will be enough computational horsepower to simulate a human brain on the fly in the next few decades. Well unfortunately even if they manage to get most of you in there nothings perfect and top dollar is the human psyche unravels and goes feral before shattering into billions of simulated imploding neurons. Immortality would likely come if we could create a true A.I. that could escape biological restrictions. We will have to pass the torch to our children and hope they remember us.

It is impossible to end aging without at least another 500 years, some idiots would think that just because we can cure some infectious diseases then we will be able to cure something as complex as aging, it's like a retarded dude who is living in an age where they discovered the wheel and he fully confidant that people will invent cars during his lifetime just because a monk told him so.

Fucking trannies in the ass and sliding your cock on theirs is based but romance between a man and a tranny is both cringe and disgusting. Trannies serve no other purpose than to serve real men. If you have actual feeling for a tranny you are gay and you should kill yourself.

We need to start with nutrition. Copper deficiency, wrong calcium/magnesium ratio, iron overload can be linked to so many diseases that only fixing those could bring lifespans close to 100. Just stop adding chalk and iron to flour and add copper somehow and there should be far less disease. Other nutrients may be a problem though, more research is needed. It's a shame we don't know what we need to eat, but research focuses on super complex treatments that don't help anyway.

He's right though?
The population of a society comprised of former mortals would climb at a terrifying rate and demand for resources will track with that. You'd need to instate strict population controls and the inhabitants of most first world nations simply would not tolerate such a flagrant infringement on their personal liberty.

Off the top of my head, some people have proposed relativity-based designs, but they mostly come out something like this:
>make rod of neutronium (no atoms, just solid packed neutrons, densest material possible)
>rod should have a diameter about the size of the moon, a length measured in light years
>spin rod so surface is moving near the speed of light
>fly a space ship at it just right
>universe "confuses" a spatial dimension with temporal dimension
>space ship trajectory moves through time and two spatial dimension instead of three spatial dimensions

The dream of immortality (which is just a retards version of communicating his dream of transhumanism) is just the dream of negative transcendance, which exposes their physical weakness and ugliness.
