When discussing whether people should be allowed to live longer,
as a result
of the new developments in science, one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue.
Although
some people think it is a good idea, because it permits people to remain with their loved ones, others believe it is a negative development, due to its vast environmental and social

. In my opinion, allowing people to live until the age of 100 years or older, will have bad consequences

our community and should not be permitted. In
this
essay I will give arguments and examples to support my position. One argument in favour of my position, is that the enlargement in human population,
as a result
of the new findings in medical science, will have

consequences
on
Suggestion
for
our planet. Currently, there is a growing need for agriculture and animal farming lands in order to supply the increased food demand. Once people will live over 100 years,
this
demand will increase substantially, leading to more areas

diverted for the food industry.
As a result
, natural forests will diminish even more, affecting the air we breath.
This
has been shown in a recent study by Harvard University, that reported a 5% decrease in natural forests in Brazil which were diverted into animal farming areas, and a 3% increase in air pollution over the
last
10 years. Another reason to support my opinion is that older population requires an increased medical care, increasing the burden on our health system and
sociaty

society
. As we grow older there are many physical conditions,
such
as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which require medical attention. Due to the increased population age, the health system needs to direct funding from other sources to deal with the increased demand. As an example, A New York Times article reported that due to the increased incidence of diabetes among the elderly in the
last
5 years, the national health system

a state program to fight obesity among American children. In conclusion, I maintain that we should not be allowed to live over 100 years of age, due to the social and economic

. We should have a normal life, and save our planet so that our children could have a full and happy life.
