and while some individual will changs mind with evidence, my previous comment stems that most will not, unless some extraordinary discovery is made soon and I am not betting on it.
Giulio, you are right that radical life extension, virtual aferlife and resurrection will happen, but not in the coming decades, but alot later. Because look at the answer from George Harrison on the forum. https://www.quora.com/Is-cryonics-a-bad-idea, here is his profile, https://www.quora.com/profile/George-Harrison-45. I hate to say it, but I agree with Elon Musk. Only when inevitablist biofatalist scientists who believe immortality, cheating death and resurrection are delusions and that transhumanists are just into selling books to psychotic or immature, or for publicity, and that THEIR (those scientists who hold such desbelieving view of indefinite life extension and the view that perpetual life and perpetual youth are like perpetual motion) view is an adult view, therefore is the true one and rational one and compatible with science (and it is despite that 11-12 year olds are often more rational in their judgements on their level on capacity that adults are on adult level of capacity, it is just they don't have enough knowledge and capacity to think long term like adults) will die out and younger, less set in their ways people will join scientific ranks will we see paradigm shift. And after that, you still will need new research within the new paradigm how to stop or reverse aging and death, and bring back the dead, and it will take decades more. So you are right Giulio, it is unlikely in our lifetime because people who think only psychotic people believe it and the ideas are delusional and due to lack of ability to distinguish reality from fantasy will not solve problems and it will take decades for them to die out and decades more to people open to such unearthly ideas to accomplish listed goals.

It may be that only some people, perhaps a very few, actually exhibit true free will. Most people just go along with wherever their lives take them, inheriting their values from their parents or their culture, following the prescribed rituals of life, and never questioning that it could be any different. And in this way, they live deterministic lives. But the few who challenge their orthodoxy, who make the morally difficult choice in the face of obvious consequences, and who live a truly examined life, heeding the Delphic maxim to "know thyself" may be the soloists in the orchestra, creating variations on the theme while all the other players dutifully play the written parts. The symphony takes flight.
Also consider: A book that is already written will read the same way every time, but it's the reader who brings new perspectives to it. And even though already written to its tiniest details, the story can still be a riveting ride, with slightly different lessons and unique emotional growth as the takeaways, depending on what the reader brings to the experience.
