Should scientists continue looking for ways to extend lives of humans?

Long quest: The history of humanity includes techniques and explorations designed to extend life (remember the fountain of youth?). Living beyond biological destiny can allow for degenerative conditions to appear (like alzheimers and macular degeneration). Is there an age you consider a best cut off point? Most want to live as long as possible and this desire seems unabated.
