Depending on exactly how the process works, the ability to treat a lot of degenerative diseases fairly simply and presumably fewer beds required for long term care, the economics of life extension might work out as a net positive. Dying is expensive, so if you largely eliminate that cost it can change things and the current “cure aging in mice” research looks to be a fairly simple process that may scale quite well.

Dying is the best possible answer for nation states as the tax and inheritances pay more than the social programs and tax’s loopholes given out.
Nations do not want to spend on individuals when spending on companies who buy them out pay so much better.
