Rejuvenation biotechnology

Do you know about regenerative medicine for aging? Aubrey D.N.J. de Grey, Ph.D., writing at GEN, prefers to refer to it as rejuvenation biotechnology.
There are many distinct avenues of research encompassed by this, but they have one thing in common: rather than manipulating our metabolism to slow the rate at which it inflicts accumulating damage on our tissues and organs, rejuvenation biotechnology is all about repairing that damage even after it has accumulated substantially.

What I don't understand is the hostility that much of the alt-right/manoshere seems to have towards the possibility of regeneration/radical life extension. There was a screed over on return of kings several months ago where they guy was saying that radical life extension is not possible and even if it were, it would not be desirable. I fail to understand this luddite mentality.
