> But if they told me biological immortality was solved (as opposed to mind upload followed by download into a freshly bioprinted body with a blank brain) I’d doubt the year was really only 2081 — not all research can be done in silicon, some has to be done in-vivo, and immorality would be one of them.

But why, biological immortality is already here for many animals like jellyfish. Honestly seems closer to me than uploading.

Because 60 years isn’t enough time to tell if you were completely correct, or if there was something you missed.

Depends on if the tech is something you do to an embryo and have to wait for, or if it's something you can do to someone who is already alive.

If you apply the process to someone who is already 100 and they hit 160 with no further degradation, it would be, at the very least, a pretty good indicator your process had worked.
