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 development outweigh the disadvantages?

With the development of the medical system, modern

people

can live longer and enjoy increasing

life

longevity. From my perspective,

this

trend has more benefits than drawbacks. On the one hand, a longer

life

expectancy can bring tremendous advantages for human beings. In the

first

place,

people

have more time to enjoy their lives with their family and friends. It is true that the public lived shorter age in previous times due to the low medical

care

,

as a result

, many

people

had to suffer from their loved ones leaving them at an early age.

Therefore

, living longer can give citizens more chances to be together with their loved ones and enjoy

life

. In the

second

place,

people

can contribute to the society more if they can live longer,

such

as the US president Biden, who is almost 80 years ago, still makes a vital influence on the whole world.

On the other hand

, a long

life

expectancy will cause a huge burden to the family and government as well.

To begin

with , a family member usually has to take the responsibility to take

care

of their older parents, while youngsters have to work and look after their children at the same time, which leads to significant pressure on young individuals. When it comes to the government, most of the elderly

people

are retired and can not contribute to the workforce and the tax. Meanwhile, the government have to subsidize enormous pension to support them, like medical

care

, which takes a roll-on financial burden on the society. To sum up, a longer

life

expectancy can give

people

more time and chances to be together with their families and enjoy

life

. I think it is a positive development and

that is

the meaning why we develop our medical

care

and the society.
