Something possibly being better for 1% of the population does not make up for the suffering of 99%.

Not what we were even talking about dude. Especially when you shifted the conversationto begin with... We were talking about the 1% of people who theoretically could have their life extended, but still would require a substantial series of effects for that to occur. Is that worth the suffering of the other 99% of people?
