the Eisinhorn and Ravenor omnibusses have plenty of examples of cheapo medical procedures accross all layers of society.

the implications are that simple juvnat procedures/treatments are avaliable for those that can afford it.

a factory worker would certaintly be able to save up enough to go in and have something done once a year or so. its like saving up for a carm something they can't do everyday and to the highest standard, but it can be done.

if you have a steady source of income, you will be able to get life extensions.

If you read the opening of Ordo Malleus, and what Eisenhorn thinks of Bequin, you'll see that he expresses surprise that she is able to afford such a strict regime of treatments, even in her position (which was considerably wealthy).

@Kamikaze: Yeah, wealthy civilians. There is nothing anywhere that suggests Mr. Average-Joe-McFactory-Worker will ever be able to afford them.

there is nothing to suggest they can't.

Eisinhorn was refering to Bequin's treatments, which were decidedly advanced.

a person of less money wouldn't be able to afford that level of treatment, but would be able to afford something more modest.

He may also be expressing surprise at how much money she is spending on juvenate treatments despite her income. Like some one who wastes the entirety of her income on plastic surgery.

Yes I can follow that. Is there evidence of cheapo-rejuv treatments not extending youtr life but.... you know.... killing you. lol

According to DH, the average Factory Worker makes about 120 thrones a month.

An Inquisitorial agent, at the level of Bequin when she has established and operates the Distaff? She's pulling 12k thrones a month. She's fantastically well-off compared to the average Imperial citizen.

Eisenhorn himself? His income is classified. (And, in fact, they continue to be classified in the DH game).

Several centuries given the proper funds and proper access to technology.

Technically human or not, Space Marines are stated to be immortal as far as age is concerned. So it is conceivable that some lesser versions of such gene manipulation is available to wealthy folks.
