There might be some parallels with petroleum extraction. It would have seemed impossible to ban / regulate drilling even if the global warming in 100 years had been obvious.
So many good things made and personal fortunes generated by oil extraction; preventing those benefits would've seemed immoral.
Life extension is kind of like that, it's easy to say "someone will deal with potential problems later". A person only looking out for themselves and an altruist can both present an argument based on morality.
