Wouldn't the cost of it roughly follow every other technological innovation? Extremely expensive and only affordable by the wealthy at first, then cost will go down over time as competition ramps up and economies of scale take effect.
- dorchadas 5y agoI think this all is assuming that those who have the power to will allow competition to ramp up and the price to come down. I can't help but feel they won't with the cure for aging, as it's in a different category than other medical and technological inventions. As I said in a reply to a sister comment, maybe I'm just cynical and pessimistic, but this is the one thing I don't see those who have money and power allowing to ever reach those who don't; if nobody had to age, it might threaten their power too much.
