One of the consequences of improved medical care is that people are living longer and life expectancy is increasing. Do you think advantages outweigh disadvantages?

Over the past few decades,

health

has become one of the key factors in

people

's lives, so that

people

consistently experience a long

life

. I believe it has brought more benefits to

people

. I will review both the positive and negative aspects below. There are tangible benefits that

societies

derive from improved medical

care

. Encouraging

people

to see a doctor with advanced medical

care

is always a simpler action in the process of maintaining optimal

health

. In

this

way, any

health

problems

can be prevented, or in the worst case, their negative effects reduced.

For example

, if

people

progressively check their bodies,

this

will help to more effectively counteract many diseases (and their effects) at an early stage of disease development.

This

is important if only from the point of view of demographics, where by extending

life

expectancy we not only allow older generations to benefit from

life

, but it is

also

the older generation that can

also

help the younger generation.

For example

, as the youngest generation is busier with work, grandparents can help take

care

of the children and reduce the burden on the young.

Moreover

, elders can teach their grandchildren basic customs and moral values.

On the other hand

, better

health

means longer

life

and our

societies

are not ready for the challenges of

this

. Significant

problems

include providing enough food for the significantly growing number of

people

on Earth, we have had

problems

with

this

for years, and there is no magical solution in sight.

In addition

, our pension systems are no longer suitable for significantly longer retirement periods. Almost all pension systems are dependent on the number of

people

of working age, and extending

life

expectancy significantly increases the tax burden on

this

group. It is very likely that it will be necessary to extend working hours, which is of course a very politically unpopular decision and only mature

societies

can introduce

such

solutions across political divides. In conclusion,

it is clear that

the development of medical

care

brings far more positives than negatives.

However

, we must remember that

this

is not a zero-sum change and the negatives are still very relevant. Longer

life

expectancy brings with it costly

problems

, especially in developing countries whose

societies

have not yet had enough time to get rich and be able to bear the costs of

this

change.

However

, the social changes that are taking place

due to

medical developments are inevitable and we need to think more about how to make the most of them than how to counteract them.
