    You mean like exercising and eating a healthy diet?

    I’m 50/50 on this. On one hand, food deserts exist, and there are a lot of people who are struggling. OTOH, your comment makes it sound like you have a sharp cliff between “has 6 houses and personal chef + personal trainer on staff” and “can’t afford to eat 3 times every day”.

    I could easily see either “reserved for billionaires and their playthings” or “available if your insurance covers it” with all the weird exceptions and “benefits cliffs” we’ve seen for the past 20+ years of insurance in the US.

    That ignores other countries, but I don’t know enough to speculate on how e.g. Norway would handle a longevity vaccine.

    I’m not sure about your premise. Will a longevity vaccine ensure a healthy population? Will it ensure a large pool of army recruits?

    I’d almost expect the opposite, with a lower birthrate and a smaller proportion of the population being kids. Are you going to rush to have kids if you expect to live forever? Are you going to volunteer for the army as readily if the only causes of death are 1. combat deaths and 2. car accidents?

    Hmm, that could be a hook. Join the army and get the shot, or live a “safer” life with the natural span.

    Still, I’m not sure that conscription policies make for stronger armies. I’d need to see receipts on that one.

    Diet and exercise won’t make this article obsolete. Those things will help avoid an early demise to things like heart disease or stroke, but the don’t dramatically uncap the lifespan.

    I’m not sure you know what conversation we’re having here. This isn’t about trying to live an extra 10 years. This is about adding 50 to 100 years to our lives. Show me a 150 year old person. Show me how many 120 year olds there have been.

    The first longetivity drug will most likely only add a few years
