It seems quite reasonable to apply this to life. If the mental abilities are not weakened, there's no significant downside to me (besides the hunger). 20% life extension seems to be worth it for me, especially taking into account nshepperds calculation on AI takeoff. The time where the AI will probably take off is also the time I will probably die, so why not lenghten my life? Hunger now, enjoy life later.
