And yes, as someone said, it only makes sense if you get those extra years when you are young and they prolong your youth. Most people who are 75+ start to look/act real frail. I wouldn't want to live the next 50 years of my life like that.

Why do people keep saying this? Seriously, if there is medication/technology that can help you live longer, I highly doubt that you'll be the only one that gets to use it.
Everyone's live expectancy would be enhanced. It really isn't that difficult of a concept.
Also, enhancing life expectancy doesn't mean adding years at the end when you are bed-ridden. It means keeping you healthier longer and PUSHING BACK the process of aging.
