No no, we are the first generation to have a decreased life expectancy to our parents. Meaning whereas they're expected to say 80, we're expected till 79.

No, I don't think so. I am pretty sure I will live longer than what my parents will live.

There are different ways to look at this. For one, as Telomere13 said, medicine will continue to evolve, thus having more cures for illnesses. Another way to look at things is the growing obesity problem. With it constantly growing(play on words?), the risk of heart attack and stroke continue to rise.

It should be about the same, seeing as although the bad stuff will increase, the cures will increase too, therefore balancing everything out.

Yeah, maybe with our current medical abilities this may be true, slightly. But as many cures arise, by the time we are middle age our life expectancies might improve because of cures for cancer, and better care for other problems. Who knows?

I don't want to die before my parents, mostly because I don't want them to see me die. That would be tragic.

Although new cures for diseases may be discovered, possibly even one for cancer, eventually, unless people start looking after themselves, it won't make a difference.
Sure, people won't be dying of cancer any more, but that means they'll probably end up being taken out by obesity, or liver damage, or kidney failure, or anyone one of the other consequences of filling your body with junk.

I think the government should make gyms free! Or at least cheaper.
