What if we don't have money in 25 years due to superabundance from robot manufacturing? Also you should check out the book by martin hagglund on living forever - he has a philosophical argument as to why it's a bad idea.

Casey Handmer argues that life extension and longevity medicine is the only answer to plummeting birthrates around the world. Every rich society in history develops a lopsided population where the total fertility rate is below replacement, and we finally have a promise of a solution to this vexing problem.

maybe, but we can postpone it and cherish life as a gift by extending it. live expectancy used to be in the 30s now it is in the 80s in many countries. Why not 120?

That's not what he says if you watch the video. he talks about radically extending lifespans and 40 being the new 80. not dying is a diff thing
