Nope. Nope. Nope. Life extension will be used by politicians and the wealthy - if they can't take it with them, they can stay longer to enjoy it - to lord over the rest of us even longer. And it'll possibly be used to keep us working even longer. In a generation or two, with life extension kicked in, what's to stop the ruling class from setting a retirement age of 85 or 90?
