"Generation ships"??? Nope.

MIT sponsored symposia the first week of 2000, the subject of each was
21st century technologies. One symposium focused on medicine. The
doctor stated to the audience that the children in the audience can
expect a lifespan of 150 years.

If that doctor's prediction is correct, a 150 year lifespan will
include sufficient medical advances that lifespans will in fact be
infinite as far as biological issues are concerned.

If he predicted that a 150 year lifespan will include sufficient
medical advances to create an infinite biological lifespan then I'd
venture to say that his prediction is incorrect.
