Do you think the improved medical care which can help people live longer has more advantages? Due to the improved technology in medical care, people can live longer than before. It has been reported that people’s average age/lifespan/life expectancy in a developed country could be more than 70 years, which is much longer compared to 100 years ago. Nowadays, people can check their health conditions on a regular basis. If there is any problem or disease, they can go to the hospital, and the doctor will give them some advices, medicines, or operations to cure the disease, which can eventually increase their life expectancies. Some people regard this as a disadvantage for the society. They think that because of the improved medical, people can live longer. As a result, there will be more and more elderly people who are lack of abilities to make contributions for the society. Besides, Operating the medical care system needs lots of social resources. Both of the elderly people and medical care system would be a burden for the society. However, I don’t agree with this view. Thanks to the improved medical care, people have better physical condition than old days. As a result, a person who is in his or her sixties can not be reckoned to be a elderly person, so it’s not true when someone says there will be more "elderly people”. Indeed, the medical care system is costing the government’s money, but it also creates job opportunities, which is quite beneficial for both the society and individuals. In addition, there are some more benefits. For the individuals, improved medical care is very welcomed since most people would like to live longer, so they can have more time to accompany their family members, or travel to different places. For the society, there will be more experienced people such as experts, teachers, doctors, who can contribute their knowledge and experience to the society. Furthermore, a city with a high average age of its citizens, which means better medical care, would be very competitive to attract different excellent people from other cities, even from other countries. So, I do think there are more advantages than disadvantages for the improved medical care which makes people live longer.
