That's really going to stir things up:
No, life extension for a privileged few is, by its nature, a socially destructive technology, and the time has come to ban it. Take the evergarchs off their treatments, so that they start aging like everyone else, and don’t let anyone else get started. Prosecute anyone who tries to evade the ban, which shouldn’t be hard to determine: Billionaires may sometimes manage to hide their assets, but they can’t hide failure to age.
Vitalik Buterin is hoppin' mad about it:

I'm normally not one to enthusiastically go for emotive moralistic language when criticizing things, but banning life-saving technology.... is literally state-backed murder. Fortunately these people would just move to countries that respect their right to life.
I guess this is probably more "politics of the future", though the fact that it's about life extension made me think "science and technology of the future".
