Sure, but it isn't a useful exercise. Presumably there are limits to the current new treatments, once we figure out what those limits are we will hit a new death rate. I expect to see that before 2050. Then we have to wait for the next new treatment.
It seems unlikely that there are an infinite number of great treatments waiting to be discovered. Most likely we are asymptotically approaching some non-zero minimum death rate. (note that the function is not linear, and we just saw one interesting step)
