I read a really good book about this kind of thing once written for the young adult market where people took a pill and just lived on and on though they did still age physically in a way sort of dried out. Because it wasn't sustainable you weren't allowed to have children and any children born were called surplus and put in insritutions. It painted a dark and horrible picture of the idea.
