Assuming we could tackle the issue Discuss Thrower mentioned, I wouldn't want to see this happen unless we also had the ability to terraform and colonize distant planets as well.
We're already dealing with a space/food/environmental harm issue. That would certainly only be compounded if the elite were able to live "forever".
Speaking of, I wonder what is the number of people this Earth could actually hold. I guess that depends on our agricultural technology as well as tech in energy and other things.
Hmmmm.
