Even if you’re able to preserve a healthy body, the increased lifespan will strain society resources, require people to have longer and longer careers, more income, less opportunity for next generations, etc.
Human lifespan has increased markedly since say the middle ages, but has done so on a slower timeline. I am actually pretty nervous about a rapid transition to life spans dramatically increasing. I don’t think that will be a fun point in history.
