Sure,it may be possible;the real question is why? why allow Man to live that long ?;life wouldn't be that precious for us,or maybe life would lose its meaning;indeed,why hurry in life or do certain things while knowing you could live 1000 years? I fear that Man could lose what's make us human,that is,a limited life,the fact that we are all unique (considering cloning) and other wild stuff.

I have to be cynical about thesetypes of " meaning" type ideas, it's a deep down part in my brain, so reading this post, I'd go ahead and live the 1000 years. I'm pretty sure people would learn to live with the changes.
