What do you mean "any cost"? We're talking about living in what would basically be a healthy, fully-functioning body... forever. What's not to want? If you ever get bored, by all means, you can still kill yourself.
When I first posted, I was thinking along the lines of incremental delays to the aging process through ongoing scientific/medical advances. I don't believe that it's capable of producing the sort ageless immortality that's being described in your above post, so I guess we're just not on the same page.
I'm imagining a desperate stretching of inevitable decay, not somehow becoming a Highlander.
