It would also lead to euthansia and eugenics on mass in order to increase the workforce.
If this didn't happen we would need another planet within 20 years in order to keep up with the resource demand. We'd need another solar system within 100 years and we'd proberly colonize the entire galaxy within 5-10,000 years and then when one galaxy is full we'd need another galaxy every 20 years as the population would continue to double.
It's just disgusting, it's like a virus.
I can see the attraction and usefullness of keeping a 25 year old body for 80-100 years but death is absolutely neccessary.
