I think we need to get back on track with the question.
There were religious and philosophical questions involved in the novel, ones that really do attempt to inquire into the nature of longevitiy.
Of course, there are problems of overpopulation if the process became (for example) one in which commodification was the end result.
I'm talking about the implication(s) upon the ordering of events relating to health care, contractual and legal issues, in addition to ethical and religious concerns.
And please remember: I'm not talking about immortality, but a lengthening of one's life beyond the "normal" or "typical" lifespan.
