Is it possible scientifically that in next 10-20 years a drug comes which can prevent death caused by aging?

I'm buying as much land as possible when it's announced.

20 years, unlikely. You will hear about it being tested and researched 20+ years before it hits the market. Obviously the amount of controversy, regulatory hurdles, and resistance from parts of the healthcare and funeral industries will be very high, causing it to take much longer than usual to become available.

Also it would probably be a series of life extension treatments, ones targeted at the heart and brain, which have to be administered repeatedly, not just once. Surely it would be very expensive and the vast majority of people could not afford it, and might only help you live to 150, 180, etc. At first... then maybe improved to last longer and longer, and get cheaper and more available. But that is a long process.

no. But only for you stupid humans. In theory, if my brain was placed onto an altered body they can just do it again. So I should be able to just take on another host body whenever I want (provided I have a new host body either donated or grown).
Sucks to be human.

Slow it down ... from a current viewpoint that seems feasible, although indivdual genetics could counteract the effect (there is a biological reason why some simply "age badly"). With a synthbio approach it might even be specific enough to not cause nasty off target effects. Two main topics: tissue niche degeneration and progressive genomic instability. A few side concerns of the immunological kind (chronic inflammation) which do not affect everyone to the same degree. That would be roughly it.

No.
Nobody cares enough these days. There aren't fanatical savants that dedicate their lives to seemingly fantastical innovations anymore.
By the most optimistic estimate maybe in 120 years.
AGI is all hype. Unlikely that it is created before ~2300.
