Who would want to live twice as many years in this place?

Id want the option to. It wouldn’t be immortality so if I really hated my decision later on I could just cut the life extension short

Assuming it would be at an equivalent of 20-40 years old, I would LOVE to live indefinitely. There is just so much to do. Imagine having virtually infinite time to learn languages to read books in their original tongue, to travel the world, build your own house by hand, take up art mediums or musical instruments and become world class, and on and on.

Gosh, I can think of thousands of years worth of activities I would love to indulge in! And by the time I’m done doing those things, imagine how many more things there would be?

Billionaires, who will all receive it a decade before poor people.

Correction: A select few poor people will get it to look for possible side effects. Once it's deemed safe? It will become something only the rich can access.

A hot take, but I agree. All it means is that you'll be slaving away for twice as many years.

The rich folk are probably licking their chops and rubbing their hands together. Boneappletea.
