Three conditions would make life extension practical for me. 1) Cost of living becomes negligible or earning a living is still possible at 100+.
2) The additional years are healthy ones.
3) Breeding is reduced or resource availability is increased. But even then, I think Asimov's premise that a longer-lived person doesn't have the urgency of a shorter-lived person has merit (The Naked Sun.) If you have hundreds of years to live, why do something risky (or even expressive) RIGHT NOW? |

If we transitioned into a post-scarcity society (your point 1), then why do we need people to take risks? How about a society living for self-actualisation?
