If you could press a button that caused scientists to develop a universal cure to aging, in the form a cheaply manufactured pill, made easily available to everyone and taken annually, would you?

With literally no strings attached besides the consequences that come with ending biological senescence. The pill doesn’t do anything to prevent egg degradation and reabsorption so female fertility won’t be affected (women will still hit menopause at around the same time they do now). That means we won’t have to worry too much about overpopulation.

If this question is an easy yes, what would you be willing to give up to make it happen? Your savings? Your possessions? Your job?

Also, the pill works on all mammals so your pets can live forever too
