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

I agree with this to some extent, but something tells me that because of the medical advancements that are currently happening, our life expectancy could be as high as 100 instead of the 75-85 which I believe is the expectancy for our parents' generation

Were suppose to be able to live to be 150 now, if we take care of ourselves right and that because of the medical advances in technology.
But now the average life is about 75-80

-Instead of waiting 20 minutes going round in circles around a mall parking lot, park a bit farther out and WALK to the mall.

-Instead of using elevators or escalators, use the stairs to get to the second floor.

- If you have a pharmacy or drug store really close by, walk there instead of going in your car.

- If someone needs to have an errand done that involves walking, take them up on it.

Do all those things, and you will have done most of the exercise your body needs in a day without even thinking about it. So simple.

Ture enough. But I have never met a biologist I liked. Conversly I have never liked a biologist I met so there may be some biased.

That's interesting. Not completely far-fetched, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Either way, if I have to be the generation to clue the world in, so be it. Not that any cluing in will happen. But hey, "Generation: Beginning of the End" sounds pretty cool too.

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


No they shouldn't.  The government has a duty top provide healthcare and maybe even subsidised gym use via public recreation centres but in the end our health is our responsibility.    And you can be perfectly fit without going near a gym.

Firstly, what country are we talking here? America? If so, that is due to the obesity 'epidemic', and the fact that it is almost becoming the norm to be overweight.

Regardless, just because it has dropped this year doesn't mean it is going to continue decreasing. It will go back up again, as significant medical advancements are becoming more common each year. No doubt that our life expectancy will be higher than our parents.
