Recently read the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, and in those books an anti aging "vaccine" is made and shared freely for the citizens of Mars, but on Earth where the rich and powerful still control everything, its used as an incentive to come and work for the most powerful companies, or if you have the money then you can buy it.
I literally hope such a thing is never invented, imagine if the Musk's, Trump's, Bezos', and Putin's of the world lived for hundreds of years instead of finally fucking dying at 90-100 at most.
Terrifying.
That might actually be enough inequality that we might do something about it.
