In

this

technologically advance world, people can have longer

life

span

than people of earlier generations. The pros and cons of

this

situation are undeniable.

This

essay will

first

discuss the positive effect of

this

situation and

then

followed by few negative effects. Longevity is a tool in the case of people who are serving in

society

. To be more precise, there are people who are doing something good for

society

, it would be phenomenal if they live a long

life

and serve for a longer period. There are people who lost their

life

Suggestion

lives

at a young age before their eureka moment.

For example

, as mentioned in an academic research done at Cambridge University, thirty per cent of the great legends died at a young age when they could have done more for

society

if they lived longer.

On the other hand

, longer

life

span

can lead to a shortage of necessary resources: food, minerals and water. What I mean is, there can be an acute shortage of the natural resources if people keep on taking birth and not dying for a long period of time. The rate of population growth will keep on increasing if the mortality rate keeps on decreasing. The non-sustainable use of the natural resources due to demand will lead to poverty. To illustrate, according to an article in The Times, world population has increased twofold in the

last

decade, which is leading to an increase in the poverty. In conclusion,

although

the longer

life

span

life

span

can help the people who are serving the nation and doing good for

society

, it will lead to a shortage of vital resources. As population will keep on increasing and sustainable use of resources is not possible.
