In an ideal world. Even if we achieve longevity with this approach, we can't use it for everyone. People need to die now more so than ever, where would we put them otherwise?

The whole idea behind the current pandemic is that people need to die, via vaccines, or the virus, or the media.

We are currently at the brink of extinction, ironically by overpopulation. Everyone knew rapid growth is unsustainable, with 7.9 billion people on earth right now, we are causing more: Carbon emissions, global warming, pollution, environmental damage, ozone depletion etc.

Soon we won't have a planet to live in. I am sure mother nature will find more subtle but beautiful way to eradicate us.

But, hopefully we leave this small planet and explore other planets in near future.

Missing /s?

Nature's remedies are more normally quite blunt and brutal.

If this technology is real it needs to be expensive enough to prevent the vast majority of people on earth from having access to it.

Nah, instead of that it requires winning a dose via lottery, and only 10k people are allowed per year. Ran via blockchain w/ complete transparency and no way to cheat or buy a dose if you're super wealthy.

Your way is depressing and dystopian AF.

Obviously it should only be used by the poor, so they have longer to find happiness. Someone has to blow the horn and push the wheelbarrows.
