TASK RESPONSE.

Death is imperative for every living creature however, scientists in this contemporary world can make life expectancy quite longer. Though this is deemed good, the drawbacks of living longer are gravely appalling compared to the benefits it offers. A long life offers the society a broader spectrum of labor, especially experienced labor from the old. These can pass on experience to the young. It is worth noting that when people live longer, even when old, they can offer social and family services. In China, it is the grandparents who care for the grandchildren, taking them to school and for walks when parents are at work. It also helps people realize their personal dreams. When a person dies at a tender age, it is very probable that they have not achieved their life desires as expected. A person who dies old will have life satisfaction. Suffice to note, the repercussions are gravely detrimental as the old impact the financial stand of society, they need both social and medical support. It is beyond doubt that unemployment and poverty rate would increase substantially, as these old will keep at work places and suffocate the employment of the young because of their experience. With a decrease in death rate and birth rate remains the same, the demand for resources will extremely hike. Over exploitation of resources would lead to increased global warming and international conflicts. To sum this, living longer might seem advantageous however, taking the severe socio-economic repercussions that will ultimately affect everyone, the disadvantages are very prominent.
