I believe there's a limit to scientific discoveries and technology and we will soon enough reach it unless new physics gets discovered (hypothetical). We are already working at nanoscale and the size of a few atoms will be the limit for transistors. No more inventions/discoveries will mean the end of economic growth. Moreover, what new innovation will be possible will increasingly be only accessible to the highest IQed people and robotics will mean decreasing need for low IQed people in the workforce so expect lots of wars, famine, riots, etc. So I say no. Thanks but no thanks.
If you could extend your life 10x, would you do it?
