I know there are some tech bros and self-styled futurists pursuing this, but that is a miniscule percentage of the global population. Especially in the US, Canada and Europe we have a very fraught relationship with aging and death, in that we are so frightened of these things that we completely ignore actually living our lives (or at least ignore the low hanging fruit that would help extend the lives of the general population). It doesn’t help that people like Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis are busy trying to convince everyone that rapamycin and interleukin blockers are the way to go, and sell the dream that indefinite life is attainable for everyone. They seem to want our adulation for what they are doing, fuck that noise.
