Interesting to see this article today with the release of the show Altered Carbon this weekend. I haven't gone far in the show but the implications there is that society will bifurcate into the affluent class called the Meths that can afford to resleeve into new bodies whenever and wherever they want vs the grounded class that can't afford to. People are too hung up on the Utopia vision that comes with curing aging but the probable outcome is that the Rich won't die and will get to accumulate more and more wealth until they don't have to answer to anyone. And then society as a whole becomes stagnant because it has reached an optimal point because the Rich wants to keep it that way. That's unlike today where the Rich do sway politics and hold considerable power, but they will eventually die off and then change may come of it. I recommend folks who like these kinds of sci-fi shows to check Altered Carbon out.
