If your doctor could give you a drug that would let you have a healthy life for twice as long， would you take it?
The good news is that we may be drawing near to that date．Scientists have already extended the lives of flies，worms and mice in laboratories．Many now think that using genetic treatments we will soon be able to extend human life to at least 140 years.
This seems a great idea．Think of how much more time we could spend chasing our dreams， spending time with our loved ones，watching our families grow and have families of their own．
“Longer life would give us a chance to recover from our mistakes and promote long term thinking，”says Dr Gregory Stock of the University of California School of Public Health. “It would also raise productivity by adding to the year we can work．”
Longer lives don’t just affect the people who live them．They also affect society as a whole．“We have war poverty, all sons of issues around，and I don’t think any of them would be at all helped by having people live longer,” says US bioethicist Daniel Callahan．“The question is ‘What will we get as a society?’ I suspect it won’t be a better society．”

And what would happen to family life if nine or 10 generations of the same family were all alive at the same time?
Research into ageing may enable women to remain fertile for longer. And that raises the prospect of having 100-year-old parents，or brothers and sisters born 50 years apart1 ．We think of an elder sibling as someone who can protect us and offer help and advice．That would be hard to do if that sibling came from a completely different generation．
Working life would also be affected(被影響)，especially（尤其） if the retirement age（退休年齡） was lifted（舉起， 提升）．More people would stay in work for longer. That would give us the benefits of age-skill，wisdom and good judgment ．
On the other hand（另一方面），more people working for longer（更長久地） would create （造成）greater competition （競爭）for jobs． It would make it more difficult for younger people to find a job．Top posts（郵件， 職位） （top positions的近義結(jié)構(gòu)）would be dominated by （被...控制）the same few individuals(個人， 個人的) ， making career progress（職業(yè)發(fā)展） more difficult（更困難）.And how easily would a 25-year-old employee be able to （能夠）communicate with （與...交流）a 125-year-old boss（employer的近義詞）?
