The master's thesis deals with longevity technologies that prolong life and strengthen health. Although such longevity technologies are still in development, we assumed the so-called “cost recovery scenario” in which, while providing them to all citizens, financial neutrality is achieved over a period of time. Using these ideas, we put forward the thesis: “If we accept the ethical theory of the contemporary liberal philosopher John Rawls, the theoretical positions of other contemporary philosophers that can be included in his theoretical framework, and our theoretical upgrades to John Rawls theory, and if we limit ourselves to liberal welfare states in the so-called cost recovery scenario in a country, it can be argued that: these countries would be ethically prima facie obliged to offer opportunities to all their citizens to have access to longevity technologies in the public health system unhindered, non-discriminatory and free of charge; the exceptions are those on which longevity technologies are not successful due to their health condition”. In defense of the thesis, we philosophically argue that life extension is a type of life-saving and that the arguments of age discrimination in health care are not acceptable. Following John Rawls’s theory, we follow five possible upgrades to his theory in healthcare. We propose a fifth upgrade in terms of a new understanding of Rawls “first principle“ about equal fundamental freedoms. We understand these in the way of positive freedoms, which allows us to defend positive rights. We argue that the latter must be provided at least if they are practically priceless for the state. Since our thesis assumes that this is the case in the case of the offer of longevity technologies, we can argue in favour of the thesis based on the fundamental rights of life and health.
