No reason to think average people would be saved by something like this. It would be reserved for the smartest, most talented and the richest humans.

They would simply weed out the unneeded or just use them as a worker class. Our planet could never sustain immortal humans on a large scale because it can barely handle what we have now.

We would end up with a digitally dumbed down worker/ slave class.
