That is so short-sighted. Practically all technological breakthroughs are expensive during the discovery and R&D process. Over time, engineering makes things more affordable at scale. And markets free to respond to supply and demand are the catalyst to make it work.

I'm sorry, you're arguing that immortality, something that would probably cause all sorts of upheavals in society, will slide through the system in the same way as a new improved way for cutting your lawn.

This of course is my reference to science fiction, people in relation to this particular subject have worries that are dystopia-fodder, which I have to admit may also be silly but will probably be closer to what will happen then betting it will work the same as the process that ended up giving everyone a personal computer.
