If you press the button, all humans will stop dying from accidents and medical issues until the age of 80, at which point they resume normal 80s-related health risks and death.
People can still be killed intentionally, through stuff like homicide, war, and abortion.

If severe accidents and illnesses continue happening as before, I would much rather not keep people alive to suffer until they are 80.
If at the same time euthanasia would become a viable, legal and socially accepted option, then yes.

Rationale for not pressing button? Disrupting any sense of evolution by allowing any human born to live well past reproduction age, where the only way to prevent unforseen catastrophic genetic degredation is overt murder. I'm an atheist but not godless!

Ignore moral arguments, upend the status quo for the sake of experiment.
More data is needed.
