Do you think the average human lifespan will change 20 years from now? Why or why not?

hi
of course the average human lifespan will change. Whether for better or worse remains to be seen! Many respondents are saying for the better with medical and technological advancements, however I tend to believe that the average human lifespan is going to drop drastically!
I recently read an article that stated our average lifespan has already dropped from decades ago and I believe it! I believe we really have come to a tipping point, especially in the United States. Between skyrocketing obesity and poverty rates and the decades of constantly increasing use of chemicals and processed foods, of course our lifespans are at major risk of shortening! Medical and technological advancements only progress so quickly. I worked in pharmaceutical research for 3 years and know that out of thousands of experimental drugs and medical device studies going on, all of which take between 7–10 years to complete, only a handful are effective and safe enough to make it to market. In the meantime, thousands and hundreds of thousands of people are dying from many diseases and disorders.
If you look at more of a global scale, there are many factors that will affect people all over the world. Climate change is one. Scientific evidence has proven it is happening at a rapid rate. With rising temperatures comes a huge shift in weather patterns that causes flooding and hurricanes which put thousands of people in death’s path. Then factor in droughts and with it a shortage of water and food. More and more people starving to death as our global food supplies dwindle. Not to mention pandemics, epidemics and super-bugs in the making. Doctors are finding more and more antibiotic and drug resistant strains and we have been relying on the same antibiotic sources since the discovery of penicillin. They have finally found a source of new antibiotic possibilities in soil, but that is still in testing phases. What happens if we have another epidemic on our hands of Black Plague proportions? Our technology would actually be a detriment to us, as rapid transportation such as airplanes could and would spread deadly outbreaks quickly.
Advancements in technology and medicine can only move so quickly, and I believe they might not be moving quickly enough for all of the problems beginning to crop up in increasing intensity and numbers. Humans were not meant to be immortal and nature finds a way of culling the herds. If you look back at not only human history, but the history of earth in general, extinction events and epidemics run rampant! Maybe you would could call me pessimistic when it comes to my thoughts on all of this, but I just call it being realistic.
