If immortality is out of the question, I'd love to get an extra 20-50 years of life experience, assuming science can keep my body healthy and the experience fulfilling, so I get very hopeful when I see stories like these.
I think it would be bad for the economy, particularly if everyone had access to it, therefore i suspect if it actually would pan out, some researchers would disappear and the world would never see this released, or it would be made inaccessible to most people somehow (probably money). I'm pessimistic, but of course i also hope we do see something like that in our lifetimes.
