Immortality

I sometimes ponder over the possiblity of human immortality. Yes, I know its possible scientifically, but I don't think most people would agree with me. I know its only a matter of time before a way is found of increasing the average lifespan of man to several times more than what it used to be.
With cryonics now we have people preserving their bodies with a hope of being raised back to life. But the thing bothering me is that I don't think humanity is ready for immortality at this stage. I'm guessing we have to become more peaceful first before we can make good use of our immortality. Well time would tell.
