actually the median age of death is 80, for some more accurate perspective. Generally speaking I would consider myself lucky to live to that age and greedy if I thought that others should make major sacrifices so I could live slightly beyond it.

Actually the unacceptable rise in mortality begins around 55. Who cares the median age, for something that's so severe? That's a spurious argument.

"The median age of those executed by firing squad was 80, so why are you whining?"
