I have doubts about the possibility of any tech based fountain of youth, whether sooner or later. Sorry.

Right. And still have very little understanding compared to what there is to understand. I suppose it depends on how you define 'compared'. When they can replace parts of brains with chips and the brains still function, we have learned a lot. That might be a bit of an overstatement, but progress has been made. When you can replace the receptors with a chip and images can be seen, you've cracked it. Sure, there is progress to be made. But a lot of fundamental stuff has been done. It is not quite to the point of "it is just engineering now" but we are close.
