Default Ray Kurzweil: Immortality within 15 years.

Robert Clark wrote:
Kurzweil then claimed that longevity trends are
accelerating so fast that the life expectancy will increase more than
one year for each year that passes in about 15 years. In other words,
if you can hang on another 15 years, your life expectancy could be
indefinitely long.
