Not currently.  I find a lot of people missread what articles like this mean, becasuse the popular media can't resist eye catching terminology like 'living longer'.

Living longer is theoretically possible, so far as I'm aware, but would require medical capabilities we don't currently have - essentially tinkering with our basic biological clock.

It makes sense that we could change it, but that would require, like you said, great technological advancements.

Yeah, so I wish they'd get a move on - I'm getting older here!
