In the future, it may be scientifically possible for people to live for 150 years. This could be good news for individuals but it may have negative consequences for our world as a whole. What are the benefits and risks of people living to 150?
To live a longer life has been a dream for countless
years
. With the development of science and technology, it might be possible for people
to live for one
hundred and fifty years
in the near future. However
, in my opinion, it may not be beneficial for people
to do so.
Undoubtedly, there are some major advantages to living a longer life. Firstly
, people
could enjoy longer lives and do more of the things they want, such
as trying different lifestyles. They could spend more time with their family and even watch their children grow to old age. In addition
, people
could contribute more if they lived longer lives, especially scientists and other valuable members of society. For example
, if Edison had lived longer, he might have invented more things for us or Mozart might have produced more wonderful music.
Nevertheless
, there could be many disadvantages if people
lived for one
hundred and fifty years
. Firstly
, people
might be unhealthy in their later years
because their body organs are unable to deal with extreme age. Additionally
, more people
may suffer from painful diseases such
as arthritis. Another factor is that an increasingly older population would cause many problems for society. For example
, it would place a lot of pressure on the social welfare system, a situation already developing in countries.
In conclusion, I believe that the disadvantages for people
living for one
hundred and fifty years
far outweigh the advantages. Therefore
, this
development would be a largely negative one
for our society.Submitted by ejeh.loveth on
