We live about twice as long now as back in the

Actually that's a popular misconception.  The decrease in infant
mortality has doubled the *average* lifespan.  In reality, If I recall
the data correctly, even back in the old days, if you reached a certain
age without dying of childhood illnesses, your chances of living to age
80 or so were pretty good.  They didn't all die at 40. Just a heck of a
lot died before reaching their teens.  I was amused when my daughter
Bonnie was describing the book "Animal Farm" last week.  They supposedly
had a retirement field for horses when they hit 12.  Sounds like we may
have doubled *their* expected life span.
