their life to billions or even millions of years? in some sense being immortal although I am sure they would die sooner or later as everything does.

I don't think that humans are capable of living millions of years. Just as there is a limit to our height, the geometry of our bodies can't handle extended lives. I can understand 150 maybe 200 year old people, but our bodies need to evolve before that can happen. Maybe if we found a way to slow down our metabolism/heart rate or something, but that's just speculation at this point.

Cancer is immortal. Do you want to be cancer? If people live forever then they can't have babies. Is that what you want?

Technology has nothing to do with it. Increased learning is not beneficial. Doctors would not wash hands just because patients lived longer. The only reason we consider hand washing essential now is that all the old school doctors have died. Doctors refuse to learn about vitamins and nutrients even though other doctors report great benefits from such knowledge. The subject of nutrition has to wait for all the doctors of the old school to die.

BTW, nutrition research has revealed that a daily dose of vitamins A, C, and E will double the life span of test subjects. For humans that means 120 years. But we already knew 120 years was the limit, so that is not exactly a breakthrough except for individuals who for some reason want to live 120 years.
