One of the consequences of improved medical care is that people are living longer and life expectancy is increasing. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Advancements in the medical sector have brought longevity among the public.

Although

this

trend has merits

such

as building stronger relationships in the families and increased tax income

of

for

a nation, its negative impacts in terms of greying society as well as huge medical expenses cannot be ignored. I believe that

this

transformation of increased

the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)

lifespan

life-span

has more benefits than demerits.

To begin

with, if people live longer, society will turn into a greying one. In Japan,

for example

, owing to innovations in medical technologies, people are living much longer compared with other parts of the world.

Such

changes are increasing the generation gap, but as of now, there is no factual backup of it

Moreover

, Medical expenses are surging because governments need to reserve a huge amount of money to take care the health of senior citizens;

however

, no data of

such

expenses have been published so far in

this

context.

Thus

the increased

life

expectancy not only increases

the older

the old

population but

also

increases the financial expenditures.

On the contrary

, stronger relations can form if the

life

span of individuals increases. As longer

life

facilitates the people to spend

life

together with their family, the chances of having a harmonious

life

are greater.

For instance

, in Northern America, medical advancements have increased the

life

span of the public, and

consequently

, it uplifted the happiness index from six to nine for families throughout the country.

Furthermore

, tax collection will be more because people will work in their old age, and

this

collected fund can be utilized in the development of the nations.

Therefore

, living longer strengthens mutual relations in a family as well as increases tax money for a country. To summarize, while longer

life

expectancy apparently causes ageing community and increases financial expenses for the medical care of senior members of the nation, tax-money

collected

collection

for a country and relations among families will strengthen.

Hence

,

this

trend has more positives as compared with negatives.
