As your vital organs get older they will replace them with "Printed Organs" that will be exact copies of yours. They will use a modified laser jet printer to literally print them out! They then take some cells from your body and inject them into the new organ or "scaffold" and incubate it to make it a complete organ. This makes the organ natural to your body and wont be rejected which sometimes happens with transplanted organs. This is a very cool process that was recently demonstrated at TED(I will add a link at the bottom if you don't know what TED is.)
Your brain is already designed to last 1000 years, and arms or legs will be replaced with very life like prosthetics if needed. They will look, feel, and move like real arms and legs. They will be able to attach them to nerves so you can feel temperatures and pressure allowing you to have complete control over your new limbs as if they were completely natural.
Everything in this list may sound like stuff out of some sci-fi movie but I assure you that all of this is already real stuff that is very close to being ready for use. Infact the printed organs have even been used for a few minior replacements.
