This article definitely made me feel like my lifespan was shortened.
This author does not, in fact, say why we shouldn't. There is merely a hand-wavy comparison that in countries where life expectancy has increased also have more years of declined health.
In the last two sentences of this mess, the author asks whether it's ethical to increase the lifespan of richer countries without attempting to answer. Then, asserts that fairness would mean we focus on extending the lifespan of people living in less-developed countries. I'm still trying to figure out how this got from "living longer is bad" to "we should help under-developed countries live longer."
Save yourself the time of reading this. You'll live longer.
