So the highest suicide rate, the highest stomach cancer rate, the highest traffic fatality rate, one of the highest percentage of chain smokers, etc etc etc...and the longest life span.
Okey dokey. |

The great thing about that report, is that everyone who made that prediction will be dead by 2095, so it doesn't matter if they are wrong. |

Well, they have better analytical capabilities, and less bias, than you. |

Smoking doesn't stand a chance by 2095:

And people won't even be driving themselves in 10-20 years.
Suicide rate will certainly still be high. Can't stop people from doing that. |

30 suicides of 100,000, mostly seniors, aren't going to put a dent into life span averages. And if you take the rates of other things, and compare it to the rates of other countries, the rates for whatever will barely be noticeable. |
