That’s the immortality paradox. You have to know where we are to begin a systematic physiological evaluation of all disciplines needed to solve this problem.
Lol, as much as I’d love to see this evolve, it will be a 1%er fad for a century at least if not longer and they have the ego to live forever if they don’t kill themselves first. Common folk won’t be part of the plan after trials are complete.

Dying is the best possible answer for nation states as the tax and inheritances pay more than the social programs and tax’s loopholes given out.
Nations do not want to spend on individuals when spending on companies who buy them out pay so much better.

Immortality will mean any birth rate above zero will cause real issues economically and socially. Global or national, birth rates will need to be contained once this ball is rolling.

Gerontology would be my guess as they will have the most relevant data and expertise in aging and the consequences that must be considered and what a reversing of those would equate to.
Honestly with socialized medical in western nations expanding, they can’t afford to let that many live that long unless big pharma starts curing diseases instead or prolonging life on their meds.

Drug resistant bacteria and viruses. This will be a huge issue each year until they cull us down.
