Longevity doesn’t imply 2 live longer than expected. It is to live like 20 for the next 200 or more years. This would reduce aging the the risks to life due to aging like Cancer, heart attack and cell decay. Its basically slowing down aging

But alas still many people dont support it and want to die. The major reasons for this narrow thought of dying are religious beliefs. Thee main 6 reasons are

1) They are highly religious, and believe that living is standing in the way of reaching their creator. This doesn’t make sense because any creator would have given us life and wants us to live, not to die. Christianity says that Jesus’ death was a sacrifice, something undesirable, not something to be welcomed and revered.

2) They use history (the death of all living things before us) as an excuse for why preventing aging, disease, and death, are ultimately impossible despite the vast number of “first time” accomplishments and breakthroughs that our species has had in the past 100 years alone.

3) They don’t like their lives and would therefore choose not to prolong them. Ultimately this is a solvable problem, given resources and time.

4) They are old and are decrepit, aging has already deteriorated their mind and body, and life isn’t worth living.

5) They are morally opposed to a longer life, citing social problems or population issues. Again, this is a problem that can be addressed – requiring the deaths of billions after some agreed upon period of time in order to make room for a fresh batch should not be a requirement to living.

6) They believe that aging is a given – that it is caused by time, not by cellular processes. In reality, it is known that aging is programmed into our cells as an evolutionary process. But the average life of our great great ancestors was 35 years and ours ins 75. This has been possible because of technology only. So why not let technology make us immortal and resistant to getting old?
