Assuming it's like any other product or service, the people that implement longevity (if they do) will be a tiny fraction of the general population, and certainly not a random sampling thereof. Most people who end up being able to make use of longevity treatments will have had nothing to do with those who implemented them (except by working for company A which made product X which was used by company B to make ... which was one of the components the longevity researchers used); I think it'll happen regardless of their opinion about it (well, I guess if they violently opposed it, maybe they could stop it). So, it's less a question of what drives the search for longevity than what we'll do with it once it arrives.
