To play devils advocate here: could it be a good thing?

That way they would be incentivized to think about the long term actions of their actions, like not dying before getting affected by global warming etc.

And once aging is understood and solved, maybe it’s possible to iterate on the approach and make it cheaper and more accessible. That would greatly help the aging populations of the west.

If you’re around forever I’d imagine you would care more about what people think of you, too. If not your number of enemies would just rise forever.

The long term effects for themselves only though.

I always find is weird how most super rich don't even seem to care about the life of their own children. If they did, surely they would invest more in basic science, or at least medical science.

If you can only afford to have one or two children and accordingly have one or two children, you'll care about how well your children fare in life.

If you can have ten, your worry becomes more about how/if your children preserve your legacy.

Most super rich don't have THAT many kids though.
