I'm surprised by the life expectency pesimisim on B2. But there's hope!

Back in Feb I attended one of those TEDx events and one of the speakers (author of the novel that Flash Forward was based on) spoke about how eternal life is essentially a given at some point in the future.
His logic: Life expectency increases have been steady for 100s of years, but increasing at a rapid pace more recently. And the increases themselves are getting bigger as well. (Adding days per year at first, then weeks and now months.)
As soon as we hit one year plus one day increases in life expectency, the tipping point is reached and natural causes deaths go away. Hence, eternal life.
(I'm of course simplifying, but you get the idea. Until there's evidence that life expectency growth is flatlining - and apparently there's not any - eventually we'll add more than a year of life every year.)
