   US today uses expectancy based on live births.  This makes it somewhat   
   lower than other nations that will not count premature births or kids   
   that last less than a certain time period.   
      
   Tell those with health problems being managed that they are better off   
   dead.  I know of very few that would agree with you.   
      
   I personally had a couple of incidents where surgical procedures that   
   saved me were not around in the 50's.   
      
   I still say, op is full of it.
