The sci-fi type implications of this would be astounding. We would see a rapidly increasing global population with high natural resource use. On a philosophical level, is living forever a blessing or a curse?
I doubt it works on anything but skin cells.

We could start by giving it to congress
Immortal, corrupt, power-mad billionaires, great idea...
Wouldn't want them to miss out of their fun for a moment! Now they can torture generations of people~
With term limits of course. Idk there could be a possibility that they'd take the planet seriously though as they'd be around to see the consequences of environmental policy

I'm more of the school of thought that "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!" and in the grim dark future of immortal oligarchs, there is only war.
It's not a path to living forever; cells can't reproduce once they burn through their telemeres. What this is is a way to have a youthful body at an older age so you won't spend the last years of your life frail and wrinkly
I'm betting any genuine anti-aging therapy is going to be a complex mess of many treatments. Top off the telomeres, error-correct the DNA, roto-rooter the arteries, reprogram cells, etc...
I doubt that will be the reality of any such breakthroughs, at least not for a long time. But I think the solution in such a scenario would have to be sterilization of everyone on earth by default. Sterilization which could be temporarily reversed to allow someone to have a child via a controlled application process just to meet the rate of replacement.
