Can you reason through the gloom? Unless immortality comes with built in invincibility, I don't see how it would not have to be democratized pretty much immediately to avoid civil unrest of the outmost proportions. Also I don't see what would be to gain to not do it for those in power.

      Again, not everywhere is America. In fact, most of the world isn't America. Don't judge the prospects of the entire humanity by the pathology that is called the US healthcare system.

  Ironically, Musk is a longevity skeptic himself. Bezos would be the guy, spending billions on Altos Labs.
