Which ones?

Off the top of my head: 1. Increased risk of getting dementia (due to living longer). 2. In some cancer cases, being kept alive in a state of suffering for a year or two more than you would have lasted without treatment. 3. Health treatment costing a significant fraction of GDP.

Some people might still think these are good things. I think "questionable at best" is a good summary.
