I think what they're getting at is that most people wouldn't be able to afford this treatment.
This is a problem now, especially in America where people avoid going to the doctor even though they're pretty sure it's cancer, but they are out of a job right now and have no idea how they would be able to afford treatment or the time off from work.
The solution could be something else than stopping research maybe?
Universal Healthcare would be a good start.
Well yeah duh
Well that's a dumb position to take since nearly every technology is only for the rich when it was invented
The argument isn't to not develop these things, the argument is to not let rich people become immortal while everyone else stays mortal, but spread the good among everyone.
