Life expectancy could reach 100

Looks like our children will have enough time to complete a lot in their life :)
We're alwyas on rush for something, because we don't have enough time, I really hope 100 years will be enough for everything, so next generation won't live in such stress and rush.


Life expectancy could reach 100
More than half of babies born in affluent homes can expect to live to 100 if current life expectancy trends continue, it has been claimed.
Experts made the prediction in a review of the latest research evidence in The Lancet medical journal.
They pointed out that huge increases in life expectancy, amounting to more than 30 years, had been seen in most developed countries during the course of the 20th century.
Death rates in nations with the longest life-spans, such as Japan, Sweden and Spain, suggest that even if health conditions do not improve three quarters of babies will live to 75.
But assuming that present trends continue, most of those born in well-off parts of the world since 2000 were likely to celebrate their 100th birthdays.

Data from more than 30 developed countries showed that in 1950 the probability of living from 80 to 90 was 15% for women and 12% for men. In 2002, these figures had risen to 37% and 25% respectively.
