One shouldn't linearly extrapolate science.

Indeed. One would exponentially extrapolate science.

We still don't have flying cars....so I would't bet that much on the tech progress. Maybe in 100+ years we will get something close but I doubt we will discover immortality any time soon.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that's really not a reasonable conclusion.

and in 15 years from immortal mouse we would have immortal human.
