Science will soon make people live up to 100 or even 200 years. Some believe this is a good thing while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

notion. Although
it will make life
more productive, I believe that a longer life
will be expensive.
On the one hand, some people believe that life
would be more productive when people live for up to 100 or 200 years. In other words
, people would be able to maintain a healthy life
for a longer period of time
which would affford
them the energy and be able to spare or give up

time
to work for a long period of time
in active service and achieve more of their goals. For instance
, when people start to live for about 150 years, the general retirement age would increase and people would work for a much longer period of time
. Therefore
, it is anticipated that many people would be able to accomplish their goals and expectations in their lifetime.
On the other hand
, some people have the opinion that the cost of living would drastically increase when the life
of people become lengthened by science. This
is because there would be population explosion
on the planet, which would increase the pressure on the available resources Suggestion
a population explosion
such
as water, food, accommodation, transportation and health care. More so, there would be a rise in the population of the senior citizens and the cost of social welfare. Thus
, the working population would be heavily taxed. This
would ultimately cause a fall in the standard of living on earth.
In conclusion, although
the possibility of science prolonging human life
would make our life
more productive. However
, it would make the cost of living exorbitant for people to live comfortable
. On the balance, I am of the view that it is not a good thing.Suggestion
