If you live longer, you can make a bigger impact. Especially if you're someone like Bill Gates.

Imagine if the great thinkers and inventors of past times were still alive today.

Imagine if someone like Elon Musk could live forever.

edit: gotta love it when drive-by downvoters just cast their vote without adding anything to the discussion.

People tire of life, not everyone would want to live longer. I would, as would many, but many wouldn't even if they could. I'm sure even billionaire’s get tired of life.

On the other hand, imagine Kim Il-sung living and ruling over North Korea forever.

I'm in favor of SENS, but the idea of having the established elite be permanently on top worries me.
