They're getting close to preventing aging and all diseases will probably be cured or prevented eventually. Stem cell research will probably be able to replace organs. Nanobots may be able to rebuild the body as damage occurs, so technically in 1000 years we probably won't even be "humans" anymore once we merge with our technology. That is, if humanity survives that long (which it most likely will)

they aren't getting close to preventing aging. They never will.
We're biological organisms, we live, we age and we die. Aging and dying
aren't unnatural things that we have to try to avoid, they're a natural part of our lives and they'll never be able to be removed from us.
