It is so true that people live long these days. But what is the point of living long when healthwise it is not that great and in the end, it will just be suffering. Health span is needed.

I totally agree. Life expectancy is extended every year, but we must see if the quality of life also grows in the same way or not

I think the longevity field is just getting going.  We are going to see huge jumps in our life spans over the next couple decades.  The advancements in biotech will be responsible for a lot of it.
