If there is one future tech I hope we never reach it's this. The downside risks are even worse than runaway super intelligence.

    Infinite life, finite resources, comes immediately to mind.

    Not aging does not mean infinite life. Not only can you end it whenever you want, but you can still have accidents or win a Darwin Award.
    Also, longer lifespans open up space exploration and so much more. Anyway, I don't know if I want infinite life, but I definitely want us to beat aging, it sucks from every possible point.

  Why do people use The Last Answer by Isaac Asiimov to justify that dying is ok? If anything I find it a great reason to not like the idea of an afterlife.
  But living as a human, you can do so much more than just thinking.
