An overwhelming majority believes that everyone should be able to get these treatments if they want them (79%).

About two-thirds of adults (63%) say medical advances that prolong life are generally good because they allow people to live longer,

There is a negative correlation with age (48% of adults 18-29, 46% of adults 30-49, 37% of adults 50-64, 31% of adults 65 and older)

That first one is the one that counts. The younger, the more "pro life". Like legalizing pot, demographics are on my side. Well, my personal demographic may be a little iffy, but if they get on the stick with life extension, I'll be around when the pro life youngins take over.
