In general, it has increased, especially in the developing and developed countries.
However, an increase in lifespan is nothing if there's a corresponding decrease in the quality of life. What's the point of living up to 100 if one ends up being unable to feed oneself, unable to do anything for oneself except lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the carers to clean one up.
All said, working here in Melbourne, I come across more elderly folks who are in their 90's and there are more folks who hit 100 and beyond, whereby they get a letter from the Queen congratulating them on the milestone.
Back in Singapore, I think I've only seen octogenarians. -
u said in melbourne there are elderly folks who lives to hundred, are they still can walk and healthy??
why sporean cant like people in melbourne??
i thought sporean older folks are healthy, they have more leisure time to spend..
But as you said, there's no point to continuoing their life if they've already can't do anything..That's not their choice, some of them maybe want to die.. But they cant, their time hasnt come.>>
-
is there any wrong with development country??
if developing country has decreased the life span of humans then how about undevelopment country or countryside.. it's worse..everybody are working very hard and badly-paid.. lack of nutrism that can made us healthier..
-
Our lifespan has increased due to advancement in medical science....
but our health has deteriorated due to western diet, sedentary lifestyle... -
singapore is a stressful country but it doesnt mean life span has decreased in spore..
-
what kind of life do you expecting??
-
Our parents and grandparents have a longer lifespan due to advances in medical science and sanitation...come our time, I'm not too sure anymore..different lifestyle + the clubbing, smoking, drinking etc.
-
Won't make a difference come 21st December 2012.
-
Dont know...
I think maybe it is getting worse...
Because all the food we eat is food injected with hormones.
And alot of pollution, smoke from vehicles, infrared radiation from cell phones. All this.
So I think we are living shorter, or, not as long as we potentially can.
-
hmm.. I think since the changing of industrial environment has changed the world a lot..
maybe lifestyle has changed a lot,that's true!!
people've got influence easily by one and another..
a load of foods but most of them are unhealthy foods..
todays world has come out new kinds of disease..

====================================================================== If you want to compare the lifespan of current generations of human beings VS the lifespan of the first few generations human beings living on Earth. Human lifespan has decreased drastically from several thosands of years to only several decades. The first few generations of human beings on Earth are much more pure in terms of mind and body. And they do not have almost everything (health care services or advance technology) which we have nowadays. A common human being nowadays cannot even outlive a common sea/ocean turtle. ====================================================================== Alternatively, if you just want to compare current generations of human lifespan VS ten generations ago, there isn't significant improvement. Most people still only have several decades of lifespan.

but actually the advancement of medical , technology should increase the life span of human being.. if past generation live longer than current generation, then what is the function of the medical?? As we know, medical has improved.. then why there isn't significant improvement?? comparing to past generation, we should live longer than them..
