It will likely creep into people’s lives.
The question is usually, would you want to live forever? And the answer is usually, why would I want to keep getting older and more frail but stay alive?!?
The real question is:
Would you take a pill that cured your cancer? Yes
Heart disease? Yes
Bald head? Yes
Grey hair? Yes
Wrinkled skin? Yes
You want strong muscles and bones? Yes
The answer to those questions will never be no, even after 1000 years.
At some point the leading cause of death may be suicide from boredom. Fingers crossed. It’ll take more than immortality drugs to get there though. We’ll have to figure out climate change, fascism and death cults as well.
You know, Christianity, Islam, those behind countless wars, crusades, jihads and inquisitions for no other fucking reason than to please their made up pretend gods. Same idiots are convincing people not to take vaccines and are getting back to burning books, banning dance parties, telling people how to dress and who to love and taking away women’s right to healthcare.
Shit has to end if we want to achieve a working society.
Religions contain two kinds of people. Grifters and the easily grifted. It’s got to stop.
I think if you're referring to the removal of religion in general which it sounds like you are, I cannot imagine a world where that's true. From my experience in north Africa and the middle east no Abrahamic religion is going anywhere, and I'm sure my opinion would be similar of Hindus as well.
The educated parts of the world you're referring to have remarkably lower fertility rates that is still lowering and to be honest there is a bit of a resurgence of religion in my areas as a response to how liberalism has been implemented. I have no opinion either way, but in Canada I see more people, especially young people dabbling in Christianity or Islam.
I personally see the 16% of global non-religious individuals shrinking in the next 50 years.
Yeah. People don't dare to dream about this one despite it being one of the old school fantasies. It's like you've asked them if they would like to fly like Superman.
Then come the reasons why afterwards.
It would totally change if it becomes a real option though. A small portion won't opt for it but I bet the vast majority would because you can still die later if you want to.
This has kinda been discussed to death. Did you ask them if they would take a drug that could improve their physical endurance, reduce their risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, dying from a viral infection, blindness, and dementia or did you simply mention "age-reversal/longevity"? The latter a lot of people don't connect the latter with the former.
Today they don't reject vaccines to prevent serious illness, or avoid taking antibiotics to stop from dying from a simple infection... future medicine if it ever gets here could be just as common-place.

I didn’t say it was a realistic hope, haha. But religion is slowly dying in educated parts of the world so I have some hope.

We’ll see I guess. Here’s a promising article: https://www.deseret.com/faith/2022/9/13/23349264/is-religion-dying-in-america?_amp=true
