People are very divided in the question of immortality and the debate about it will be more and more main stream. In my own view the point of spiritual immortality is a fact rather than fiction, i personally have only to test some things in practice (OBE et. al.).
Now about physical immor(t)ality: yes!
Why? The sole reason that i don't want to pass the cycle of rebirth again. Personally i want to continue the flow of memory, thoughts and feelings that i have re-accumulated in this lifetime. To achieve spiritual immortality (continuation of thought) you really need to be able to have a continuous flow of experience and not fragmented and interrupt multiplicity of avatars.
How to achieve this? Clone therapy, hormonal substitution, nanotechnology, ... well it does not matter now if you are in your even in your early 20's if you are of modest financial possibilities. Clone therapy, nano therapy... all of them cost money, and a lot of it, even in 2050. they will cost a lot.
Want to achieve physical immortality? Then get rich and invest in different clone therapy and nano thechnology firms and participate in that companies actively, invest in new promising techniques, supercomputers and scientists.
How not to spend money: don't get your head frozen because then it will be only peace of crap that is only liable to get dumped into trash bin. You will never be able to resurrect dead tissue and esp. the spirit that will be long gone from the carcase, even if the science does get to resurrect dead tissue i don't know if "you" will reappear back in that shell.
