Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Re: Is Immortality Possible?

so indeed cloning and brain transplants put together could make you immortal but maybe there are some other less invasive techniques for getting immortality in the sense of literally stopping the aging process, such as Telomeres or something along along that line. A totally different logic for approaching the subject on living forever.
but it doesn't have to be based on Telomeres it could be like swapping souls or consciousness, I saw a movie ones about that. Just any methodology/ideology you can think of for archiving the same thing.
But just one last thought on the subject of transplantation. If you saved the original brain for say 300 years going form clone body to clone body would the brain itself become too old? would it's cells run out of divisions? would the brain age still? and cause it to get too old and die.
