The advantages and dangers of extending the life of a person is one of the most interesting topics for researchers working in a wide range of fields: from medicine and sociology to the disposal and safe burial of waste products.
Without claiming full coverage of all aspects of this topic, since it seems too extensive, let's try to focus on some of them, considering them not secondary.
As for the advantages, they are obvious and do not need special proofs. Let's note only some important moments that concern important changes in the personal status of a person during the time of increased duration of his life. This primarily applies to vocational guidance, social category, marital status and associated with the said generally accepted evaluation standards.
Incidentally, the beginnings of such changes in public assessments already take place in the current living conditions of people of the current generation, so here it is necessary to talk about assessments in the standard conditions of life of future generations.
Now about the possible shortcomings of the extension of the period of human life.
Actually, the very extension of the period of human life is directly related to the medical care of the population. The modern achievements of medicine, not to mention the medicine of the future, are such that, with proper intervention in the process of procreation, the birth of the fetus can be ensured, the developmental conditions of which and the condition after birth without such interference would doom it to inevitable death. But it is this impossibility of the birth of an unviable fetus in global consequences that provides society with viability in confronting life-threatening threats and supports the genetic stability of the human community in resisting all kinds of infectious and psychic dangers.
Of course, within the framework of a single family, not the birth or the imminent death of a malignant offspring after birth is a private tragedy, but this is also a benefit in assessing the global consequences for the entire community of people. Such a position does not mean the preaching of neo-degeneracy, it means placing responsibility for the consequences for each individual family, in each particular case. And let everyone be happy.
