I prefer the concept of gradually replacing the human body with synthetic organs, effectively reducing or eliminating death by organ failure (aside from the brain). The human body is essentially just a machine, if you would be able to replicate the function of key organs (like we currently can on large scale with bypass surgery or dialysis) you'd be prolonging the human lifespan significantly. On paper anyway, there's still the issue of the brain eventually deteriorating or developing mental illnesses. I don't really know how long a human brain can be kept alive under ideal circumstances.
