Not so sure,Cos from a few decade from now, the branch of Thanatodynamics may, or might change the definition of 'Death' forever. Humans can be immortal if their brain is cryo-preserved,that too within 5-7 minutes of death.But that too would cost money and some memory loss as neurons die out soon as blood and oxy supply to the brain is stopped. So Oxy-preservation is essential. So as vital nutrients for neurons.As medical technology and Medicine will evolve by time, one can revive the inactive frozen brain from so called "death". But till now , death is certain.This is the subject of Neurotechnology(NeuroSurgery) that deals with brain Cryo-Preservation, Transplantation and Revival.

Maybe I'm just close minded, but why would we want to? Death is the most natural and only thing guaranteed to all who draw a first breath... it is the great recycler allowing for new life to rise forth again and again.
People should spend more time learning to live in light of the fact that we are mortal. It gives a preciousness to liviing that would be absent if we became virtually immortal.

Freezing your brain doesn't make you immortal! For all practical purposes, you are dead until it is thawed or the information it it is read out and installed in a working body of some sort.
What would make you physically immortal would be any number of biological and maybe computational advances. Brain freezing might be a way to keep your essence viable until those advances have come. But some people have predicted that many people alive now could end up immortal without freezing. All it would take is a longevity treatment to give you 50 more years, some time in the next few decades. If you can live long enough to get that treatment, then by the time that 50 years is up they will probably have a treatment to fix everything and give you another 200 years, etc. At some point, they will be be able to fix everything any time you need it.
This will probably happen before they figure out how to do anything with a frozen brain. That might have to wait for a method to read all the information (without thawing) into a computer with enough capacity to run a "you program". A long time after that, they might figure out how to download that program into a new human body, if you really want to be slower and stupider!

Science will never be able to sustsain life to immortality. If you are affraid of death then look to the Holy Bible. Every human being before you has died so don't feel left out. I personaly look foward to leaving this corrupt selfish world and greeting the other side but I will be patient because I have a purpose here that God intended.

If you think it through, the idea of possibly immortality for all (or most) is not such a good idea. Death, besides being natural, helps to prevent world overpopulation. If we were immortal and still allowed to produce children, there would be severe shortages of living space, farm and livestock space, food, water, fuel and electricity. Not a good prospect in my view.

to be honest ; don't even think of that or wast your time
