We seem to be going backward. Probably because of food and other environmental factors. You also have to consider that being alive longer doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a meaningful existence. I'd rather die at 80 than be bed bound and make it to 100, for example. Modern medicine has made it to where we can string people along longer, but not necessarily improve their quality of life along with lifespan. I see it frequently in the hospital. Now if I can be 150 and look, feel, and live like I'm 50, that's a different story.
