Fred Mustard Stewart wrote a rather chilling novel on this very topic back in 1970, with the title: “The Methuselah Enzyme”.

I actually used it as one of three Sci-Fi/Dystopia novels that I studied and compared for my Grade 13 Advanced Literature class (High Schools still had a Grade 13 at the time).

In case you wondered, the other two novels I chose were Levin’s “The Boys from Brazil”, and Burgess’ “A Clockwork Orange”.

Thanks for the post!

I’m curious as to what the real cost is, not in dollars, but what does it actually damage to the body to accomplish this?

In the 1970's, I read an SF novel, "Bug Jack Barron" by Norman Spinrad. A talk show host discovers that an immortality treatment has been discovered, and wealthy people are getting it. But the treatment requires the glands of kidnapped children, who are killed in the process.
