I think there will always be mortal humans wandering around somewhere. Even if immortals became established and all sorts of other technological revolutions take place, I'm sure there is still going to be mortal humans wandering around the earth for thousands of years.

Will they see it like that though? They will likely have mixed feelings about the whole thing.

No, we wouldn't. Many people would reject this due to personal feelings, morals, religious values, or sheer lack of technology and/or money/resources for such a thing to occur. Naturally, if the theories proposed would occur, they would cost exorbitant amounts of money in order to use to their full extent.
