Living forever?
Professor Dean Smith, Dean of Medicine at New Wales University, says a baby born today can expect to live to 100+. "Wonder Pills" and new technologies that reverse the signs of aging are being tested at the moment. Will we live to 150+ or even longer, and at that age, would we even want to? Living to 150 within decades.

The wonder pills can help our body to repair itself and allow us to live longer. Our goal is not only to live longer but also to live healthier. I believe that the longevity will contribute nothing unless the quality of life can be improved as well. It is just like that additional year of schooling itself has some influence on the educational gains. Since the quality of schooling which can contribute to higher return to schooling, it will also lead to economic growth. Hence, I think we do need to live longer, and we also need to live longer well.
