IMO, the quest for longevity and renewed youth is already causing social resentment between generations. Do we really need older generations to hang around longer hoarding wealth and governing power? What exactly are they bringing to the table?
If you live more with better health you are happier. Less sickness and more energy around you, more time with loved ones and friends, more time to grow and care about various issues.
Right now you spend 18 years growing up, at least another 4 to get a good education, and then you want to establish some kind of career and probably start a family. While you are busy raising children and trying to save money, your parents are already getting old and might need care or get sick or die. By the time your kids are 18 you are already kind of tired and need reading glasses. Lots of people get nasty diagnoses starting at like 30.
It sucks. We could really do with less sickness and medical expenses, and more years of peak health, contribution and growth.
