Personally I don't think life extension is a good or even a meaningful thing unless we're also extending the quality and vitality of life. Any kind of extreme life extension must also include measures for restoring neural plasticity, etc.
As it stands you sort of die before you die. Your brain stops forming new connections and settles into its present state, which basically means you can't learn. Some kind of neural "reset button" would be a requirement.
One of my darker fears about aging is that we basically become "philosophical zombies" at some point before we die.
