I don't see how it would improve life overall, except for duration. I see many areas where life would become worse because of it, so i am biased, true.
But your scenario implies that it is already a reality, which it is not, and that i would be in favor of killing people, which i am not. I am simply suggesting one thing: Maybe we shouldn't be able to live as long as we want, maybe we should not try to make this a reality.
