Modern world gave birth to numerous invention.
Therefore
, we have large numbers of medical treatment and latest technology which has a direct benefit to peoples' health which is the reason to have a longer
life
 than the past. There are some pros and cons of
this
 situation. I opine that the drawbacks of longer living are more than the benefits. To commence with, many nations are already struggling with the higher rate of population.
Therefore
, a longer than an average
life
 period will boost
this
 number which will have a dangerous impact on the infrastructure of the
country
.
In addition
 to
this
 urban area will be more crowded and shortage of land will have to face.
Moreover
, if people live longer than expected, it will put a higher amount burden on the administration. A large amount need to be spent on welfares and medical treatments. To cite an example, India as a populated
country
 is spending huge currency on old
age
 people as a pension.
Furthermore
, as increasing with the
age
, the retirement
age
 will
also
 be affected.
Thus
, there will less chance of employment for the younger generation which will have a bad effect on the economy of the nation. To add to it, there will be more load on the medical system of a
country
 because many doctors have to take care of these higher
age
 inhabitants.
For example
, In the Canada, everyone has its family doctor only who take care of that particular person. There will less chance for younger to get a permanent doctor. To conclude,
although
 citizens contribute to nation by giving tax and services, but longer
life

country
. Every human on the planet have the rights to live long as
life but
Accept comma addition
life, but
 more than standard will have devastating impacts.
