If something like this ever becomes a practical application on the organismal level, the octogenarian dictators of the world will rejoice.

To expand, we might find out the hard way that having an expiration date was a feature of our species, not a flaw.

and the bourgeoisie, a temporary regulation would be needed in those areas of the world to separate the upper class from the capability of the rulers

An undying trillionaire class definitely sounds like a possible future. Not an ideal one, mind you, but definitely in the realm of possibilities.

I'm calling it now, Qatar will be the place that allows these treatments once they're a real thing.

I have to imagine the Uber wealthy are pouring money into youthful longevity science.

I’d be far more worried about this causing turbo cancer than immortality in dictators.

It might be beneficial if it gives turbo cancer to the dictators, of course.

Eh, we might see some benefit to leaders having a reason to care about stuff 10+ years from now.

That'll be the commoners' problem; they'll be planning out how to survive the next 300 years.

Slightly tangential: Michael Levin’s work on bioelectricity and cell reprogramming is pretty interesting in context of emergent behaviors in groups of cells. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Levin_(biologist)
