People should not live forever

Resource depletion and environmental pollutionResource depletion and environmental pollution is now a serious worldwide problem. We are struggling to deal with the consequences of it and have not found out an effective measure. When humans become immortal, the population will skyrocket and the crisis will become more serious. All of the resources essential for human life, the foundation for economic growth is exhausted with the fast pace. Most of them are non-renewable: petroleum, natural gas, metals, phosphorus... water, soil and even fresh air is also exhausted. Along with the reduced supply and increased demand due to population growth, the prices of these resources will also increase. More and more people will have difficulty in land ownership, access to clean water and food. Poverty, not health care, poor living conditions will give rise to instability and violence in society. War is very likely going to happen to gain control of essential resources. Indeed, in the past, the underlying cause of most wars are appropriated from the desire for resources such as land, rich mines and markets. Depletion of natural resources also makes economic crisis when there is not enough raw materials to produce products. Even if we would invent a ship can take us to a place similar to earth life, we would not have enough metal, materials, food, water, fuel to include all people living on Earth to a new planet.Environmental PollutionBesides the lack of resources, the environmental pollution is a serious problem. The amount of garbage we throw out every day are becoming a lot more. Handling the problem is very difficult. Untreated waste are poisoning water, the atmosphere and soil. It also led to a decline in numbers of many species of wild animals (birds, fish, and mammals ...) of their habitat is destroyed and poisoned by waste. The animals mistakenly eat plastic bags and die because of not digesting are becoming popular. With its huge population when humans become immortal, even the breath of fresh air also becomes a luxury dream for many people.The burden of an aging populationPeople could be immortal, but this does not mean that people will inevitably be older. Most people retire at age 55 or 60. Now that they are no longer a source of social labor anymore. Thus, even if one's life time is not limited, the labor time in every person's life is limited to age 60. The age of 85, people will lose teeth, memory decline, even walking and remembering their name became a difficult task for most people. When getting older, people can do nothing but sitting in a wheelchair in the nursing home. If life is more than 150 years old, people will not even have enough health and sanity to be called alive, they simply exist. Longevity just means prolonging the life when they are old and no longer able to work. Health care costs, social security will become a financial burden for any government when their populations grow old. In fact, the issue of an aging population is an issue that governments such as Japan and some European countries are concerned. The argument of the Con is not logic as telling us that the aging population will stimulate economic development. The solution that the Con gave - birth control even made the situation a lot worse when it makes the number of people born dwindling while the number of elderly people is increasing. Percentage of working age will become smaller and smaller and a small number of working people will have to bear a huge burden financially and economically for large numbers of older people in society.Technological advances will not keep up with the population boom.The Con have argued that the issue of resources will never happen, while it is a serious problem for any country. The technology achievements are still happening, but since the booming industry with thousands of inventions, the technological progress has not been caught up and solve the problems of the population boom. As analyzed above, the labor age will remain unchanged even when prolong human life. So there will not be any surge of scientific progress as the Con image. With a population growth rate of more shocking when people become immortal, it would be naive to think that the progress of science will solve everything while in the current conditions, with the current rate of population growth, it's still a our greatest problem. Thinking that we will suddenly invent something resolved all issues is only happen in sci-fi movies.
