The people who want to extend their lives are the ones whose lives tend to be pretty good. The CEO plotting world domination kind of archetype. The rest of us are expected to be expendable biorobots who serve them. Unfortunately, this won't play out the way their fantasies tell them. The rich and powerful will be trapped by the need to always maintain their fragile lives. This in turn will slow down progress and open up the gates to a younger and more daring group to come to power.
This is true. Shifting a populations life expectancy up to suspend biological aging would be a panic moment for most governments that are tied to huge benefit systems based on age. Good luck changing the retirement age, again.
