> Why not, actually? Why wouldn't it be at least somewhat related to the price of executing that life-prolonging procedure? Odds are we're talking about a suite of many procedures, some of which are intrinsically very expensive and that humanity doesn't have the resources to provide to everyone. But if it's really cheap... > The providers will surely want to sell it to the maximum number of customers in all countries. The maximum profit point isn't likely to be just above that really cheap price. People would be willing to give a significant fraction of their wealth for a magic bullet life extension, and most of the world's population has no wealth. Providers' ability to perform price discrimination isn't going to be perfect.
