Sure, but the immortality drug will have to lead to social change. Every problem is also an opportunity.

  We already have a problem and an opportunity to fix it. A proposal that makes this problem worse does not seem likely to make the opportunity easier to take advantage of.

    I disagree. A bad situation can be ignored, a catastrophic situation cannot. This inevitably leads to revolutions.

        Actually we don't. Of course we probably have different conceptions of what's considered "long lasting" in terms of civilizations, and even what constitutes "oppressive" to a catastrophic level, which was the context I specified.
