That does not sound like the most radical life extension one can imagine.

IMHO the most radical one is : no more aging after the age of say 30. In that case, one crucial question is : would women remain fertile? If so, what would be their reproductive behavior?

Further delay in advanced countries. The biological clock puts an upper limit on how long women can delay childbirth now.

Groups that breed without control will continue to do so.

Honestly if we're in sci-fi territory, then I feel like we can create an artificial uterus/womb as well.
