What will be an ideal response?
In 1930, the average male infant lived to be 58 and female infants lived to be 62. The average male born in the early 21st century is expected to live 75 years and the average female 80. Since the highest death rates in humans are found in the early years of life, the average male who lives to be 65 is expected to live to be 82, but once he reaches 85 he is likely to live to be 91. The average 65-year-old woman lives to the age of 85 and the average 85-year-old woman can expect to live past 92 years.
