I'm countering the claim "even naysayers will want this as soon as it works" with evidence that people don't want things which work - for multiple reasons, viz. known side effects, unknown/long term side effects, your 'implying a lifestyle change', not wanting to be early adopters, for examples we have covered, along with people who don't want to 'play God', don't approve of medical treatments, don't want 200 years of working life (as mentioned in the comments elsewhere on this thread).
