I'm cautiously optimistic. While technology might conceivably allow us to live significantly longer, thus creating a population problem, we are already seeing a curbing of population growth in the most technological civilizations today. Perhaps there will be something to living longer as a human that compels reproduction less so than otherwise, especially given that birth control is available. I certainly hope that I get to have a long enough healthspan that I can accomplish even just 1/10th of the things I want to do but won't have the time to do.
