> Anyone don't want longevity for humans?
Not sure what the downvotes are about but problems of longevity is studied under vampire stories, e.g. Interview with the Vampire. They eventually get nihilistic and lost in ennui because they have lost connection with past and future generations and lost a lot, if not all, meaning in their life.
There is a school of psychotherapy (existential psychotherapy) that builds around death along with other existential problems (isolation, responsibility, meaning). A proper relationship with death seems to be meaning enhancing and anxiety alleviating than not, but it heavily clashes with other people who don't simply want to think about death.
