The more technology is developed , the more medical facilities are enhanced . Many fatal diseases , incurable diseases . congenital disorders will be cured that lead to increasing in life expectancy . in my opinion , i firmly hold the view that longer life-span offers more disadvantages than advantages .
On the one hand , the raising in longevity is advantageous in a few aspects . firstly , longer life expectancy alleviate the burden about overload of public healthcare facilities .
this is because more and more people are suffering from serious diseases ; therefore , when life-span is increased , less people don’t have to be hospitalized . As a result , the overcrowding in hospital won’t be occured , the patients who are diagnosed with fatal diseases , will be looked after more carefully and the efficiency of treatments will be raised . Furthermore , longer living in life help people can enjoy life , contribute to society .and boost the quality of life . when the longevity is augmented , people don’t have to worry about the diseases so they can enjoy the life , spend all of time to pursue their happinesses .
On the other hand , despite the aforementioned benefits , i firmly believe that longer life-span offer more drawbacks . the longer longevity is a part of reasons why the overpopulation has happened . this is because many children are borned that combines with more older people , the population will increase rapidly. Consequently , there is a huge amount of burden put in housing infrastructure , fossil fuel that lead to reducing quality of life .additionally , increasing in life expectancy will impact on economy of country . It can be seen that the government have to pay more money to retired people ; moreover , the work performance of older people is extremely low . As a result , the budget and the economic growth of a nation will be reduced .
To summarize , it seems to me that the advantages of longer life-span pale in comparison with their drawbacks
