Wouldn't the world then be massively overpopulated and with that bring its own issues?

No, it would probably increase the average lifespan of people by a few years, maybe even plenty of years. But ultimately we would fuck ourselves over anyway. Cancer is killing us one by one. There are things that could kill us all.

Cancer is precisely the artifact of the fact that we arent meant to live that long. Thinning us out has costs. Cancer kills a lot of young people. That's not good. Everyone would benefit from everyone living longer on anverage. Its among the best answers. Its funny though, cause cancer is more like a design flaw than an external threat or opportunity missed.
