I agree with some of Hubert's points.  I would also remove the notion that abortion is morally impermissable as that begs a few questions and throws a controversy in that is not necessary to your point.

Not addressing the moral permissibility of using life extension technology is a major hole in your argument in my view.  It cannot be morally not permitted to stop others from doing that which is not morally permitted if that act in question has serious repurcussions on others.  

I am sorry I commented before reading.  The general question could be much better addressed than by using some specious abortion argument.  Please try again.
