I don't think it's too controversial to say that getting old is shit, and old people have a far more miserable time of things - physically speaking - than young people, and even if we do accept that we will all die some day, nobody in their right minds would choose to let their body waste away if there was a better option

I've never seen Altered Carbon, but have just discovered it's on Netflix, so have added it to my watchlist.
I think it will be the most fundamental change to occur to the human race yet. I suspect society would have far less kids if we started living radically longer, otherwise overpopulation would soon be a big problem. There would definitely be some other societal issues to get to grips with, but on the whole I think it would be a net positive for overall human wellbeing.
So for sure, if I'm ever given the opportunity to take a pill that adds years extra of healthy living, I'm taking it!
