I believe that further extension of human longevity through the advancement of medicine is detrimental to the human race. CMV.

Dan Brown's novel, Inferno, proposed an interesting idea.
It's simple math: the global population is expanding at an exponential rate. Exponential growth in a system of finite resources (the Earth) is unsustainable.

 More people living longer puts huge stress on the environment (let's be honest, we're already not doing a great job with that - google "cancer-causing lake in china")and drains basic necessities such as clean water and food. Increasing human longevity makes the extinction of our own species more and more imminent.

Edit: for clarification: people living for 90, 100 years thanks to medicine take up way more resources over their long lives than people who die younger. Since this exacerbates our already grim exponential growth situation, it is not desirable.

That's assuming people continue to reproduce at the same rate as their longevity increases. Current statistics do not support this, in fact countries with higher average lifespans have lower birthrates than those with lower lifespans, if the two are directly correlated then the problem will correct itself.
