I mean, if can mandate that "no out-of-touch, old, rich people" can "live longer than they should" to solve the problem, then we could ALSO solve the problem more directly and thoroughly by just mandating that "this is available to everyone". I don't make the rules, that's how this hypothetical works out if you think about it.
While I doubt it was the intent of the original poster's comment, there's no shortage of people who look forward to the death of old people they see as being in the way of change they desire.
Actually, I think you're wrong. That's a perspective you might get from watching certain news outlets, but if you get outside and touch some grass, meet your neighbors, you'll find that most people AREN'T cynical robots who have taken transhumanism to an eugenic extreme. Maybe just my experience, though.
