Since there are people who end their own lives early, i.e. suicides, that position is clearly not unique.

But I think it boils down to where you are in life. No-one would like endless suffering.

As for my own stance on this, i wouldn't want this to happen simply because it will greatly exacerbate the gap between the haves and have-nots, the poor and the well-off. It will completely throw the current social equilibrium out of the window.

And I'm mainly talking about life extension, since i find immortality a foolish/impossible goal.
