Critical support. Once research into longevity settles down, these can become standard treatments as part of universal healthcare. It will save money by (1) preventing the development of expensive age-related diseases, (2) allowing citizens to work and play longer, making back more of the state’s investment into their childhood and education, and (3) preventing the loss of knowledge from death, the largest drain on our collective human knowledge.
Of course, we must be careful are eventually made available to all, not just to make wealthy capitalists immortal.
Yeah, there’s certainly nothing wrong inherently with longevity research. Ways to slow ageing are good for everyone, in abstract. Living longer is good, and living while effectively “younger” is good too. A universal human urge.
I’m always a bit skeptical of miracle cure type proclamations, as there’s a lot of rich people desperately wanting to avoid death, so they throw a bunch of money at stuff. But if one of these snake oil things ends up actually working, hey, I won’t disparage it.

That’s why it’s very good that this research is happening in China instead of the west.
