I wonder how countries get to 80 year on average given all those early cancers and genetical diseases (also fatalities and suicides) that are surely to reap their harvest. This should mean that average for people who did not die prematurely is more close to 90 years. That's scary. Personally I'd be happy enough to live to 70, and won't be surprised to die much earlier.

Which makes the US's social security system a bit insane. Somehow you're expected to live 20-30 years off of income derived from paying into a system for 40-50 years. (or less, given the number entering the work force in the their late 20s or early 30s)
