Recent advances in medicine have resulted in an increase in life expectancy over the past four years. Do you think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
Since ancient times, people always tried to find out the secrets of long life and even infinity.
However
, thanks to technological advances in medicine, mankind started to reach some goals towards Linking Words
this
phenomenon in relatively recent years. I personally believe that nothing is better than giving chance to humanity to live longer than ever and in Linking Words
this
essay, I will support my opinion with relevant examples.

On the other hand
, longevity indicators are increasing over the Linking Words
last
couple of years. Many societies are worrying about the world's overpopulation of elderly people, which leads to unexpected changes in the birth-death ratio. For some, it might mean additional care and resources, which are predicted to decrease in the nearest future. Linking Words
However

this
balance is not too hard to maintain, as some practices are experienced in some countries. Linking Words
For instance
, Japanese people take Linking Words
first
place by its citizens' longevity indicator, meanwhile, the population of Linking Words
this
country has not increased dramatically. They showed the world, that it is possible if communities will control their birth rate and invest their time and money more wisely.
In conclusion, recent advances in medicine helped to increase standards which are essential for humanity. From my angle of view, it is better to live one long life and see the world and how it is changing.Linking Words
