What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of living up to 100 years old?

Nowadays, living up to one hundred years old is something unusual but it is more common than years before. At the beginning of the 20 century the lifespan was in forty years. Now, the lifespan is around eighty-five years and the society has noticed a big change in their life’s quality.

On the one hand, I see some advantages about living up one hundred years, as seeing your family growing or learning a lot of things about life.

On the other hand, I find more disadvantages than advantages because if you live up to one hundred years is probably you have to deal with the deaths of a lot of friends and family. Also, the people who live up to a century have health problems which do not allow them to have a normal lifestyle.

In my opinion, it is more grateful to live less than one hundred years with a better quality of life than living being one hundred years with health problems and in a old people's home.
