At no time did any of them use the word “immortal.” Never mind the fact that there may be limits to rejuvenation–there will still be accidents, war, natural disasters and infectious diseases. Lifespan might become indefinite, but it won’t be forever.

But I do believe humans will one day live a very much longer lifespan than imagined by many today.

I agree it would seem nice to be able to terminate at any juncture by choice, but then, maybe we wouldn’t want a termination button laying around for some undesirable happenstance.…..
