Say you have invented a new nanobot technology which, when injected, would cure any ailment. These tiny self replicating miniature robots would then start working on the rest of the body rejuvenating all systems. It is very possible for the recipient to live as many as 300 or more years. If the recipient is shot, stabbed, etc., these nanobots are so quick to fix the damage that there is no threat to life or limb.
What would you do?
Mass market and become a gajillionaire? Of course you just put an entire industry out of work. No need for doctors anymore, you just get a single injection when you are born and you are all set. Heck, if your mother had the injection, you may just inherit the nanobots.
Market to the very wealthy? $1 million per injection. That would just keep the creeps like rich politicians around and leave the rest to die naturally.
Keep it a secret for just close family members? How do you explain the use of your social security number for several hundred years? Hmmm.
