I want to live a healthy life for as long as I feel like, but in utilitarian terms, the societally active lifespan needs to be commensurate with intelligence. Intelligence + experience → wisdom, and at some point one’s wisdom hits the ceiling and long-living people become a drag and a drain. So, if I were to put more research points toward human life stats, I’d split it roughly evenly between intelligence (without detrimental effects in other areas) and longevity.
Note that no central authority gets to decide this. The way it might really work is, patients apply to be patients at new tech company medical institutes. Their application hash and some details are saved on a major Blockchain. If accepted they are entered as a patient.
After treatment rounds, they go for testing at other institute diagnostic centers to check their mRNA for aging, blood chem, intelligence, etc. These results are also entered to the Blockchain.
Then future patient candidates have data on the true effectiveness of a given treatment. In such a competitive market the winners will develop increasingly effective treatments that improve everything. As there’s no tradeoff between lifespan and intelligence—in fact a better method of treatment for aging probably improves both—both would be optimized.
