Why haven't we created a sure fire method for immortality yet?

From what I've heard of research in human immortality, I predict it'll happen within the century.

It also involves like, curing several diseases, including cancer, that the only reason some people don't get are that they die first, whether by old age or otherwise.

The more you live, the shorter and senseless your present moment becomes. Being old sucks and being infinitely old should suck yet more.
When you've experienced everything you can experience, learned all you can learn, once you meet your boundaries as an ethereal being your eternal life would become utter boredom.

But if you have shitposted every shitpostable thread with every shitposting combination an infinite number of times?
If you're eternal that will happen. You can demostrate it with some basic math.

telomeres prevent cancer bro. the prevent your dna from getting fucked with by free radicals and what not. they degrade as you age and your dna replicates, which is why the older you get the more likely it is that you will get cancer.

some animals are already immortal however.

lobsters are immortal. unless killed, they never die.

Current attempts at activating telomerase also causes cells to kick into overdrive and become cancerous. Damned if you do and damned if you don't, for now at least.

When will people ever understand that immortality in that context doesn't mean living forever but rather being able to live as long as you want?

Only if you're immortal and alone.

If you've got some immortal friends to hang out with immortality is awesome.

OP didnt say live forever. He said immortal. It's not a "sure fire method for immortality" if you can die.

Can't integrate genes that don't destroy themselves after so many years. Our own genes do the same. "Immortality" by uploading your brain would only copy nerve connections, so not necessarily memories or your personal concise. Your sense of self will die.

Because no one actually wants it. What's to life when you're incontinent, demented, and severely limited by your own physical limitations and will be until someone else kills you?
A single life is meant to end so that others can benefit from the passing.
