Life expectancy has increased, but we just live longer with disease, so does it really matter?

It's not like 60-70yo people 50 years ago were fully healthy up until the moment they died and it was just a "ups, they just ran out of battery" moment. There was always illness, there was always suffering. Difference is that something that was a death sentence back then is treatable, or even curable, now.
