      Well we are already living longer… if you look at this graph below of average life expentancy in the UK over the years you can see it increasing.

      Our life expectancy will most likely keep increasing as our standard of life keeps getting better, along with new medcine to combat disease. What might be more important than increasing the length of our lives would be increasing the quality. What is the point of being alive at 90+ years if you can’t enjoy that life?
