Longer To Live
"TN 1885 one baby in seven died during the first year of life; now the figure is one in 25 and we think that too high. In 1885 a young man of 20 | would expect to live, on the average, 40 _years; now his expectation of life is | nearly 50 years, and it’s not merely that ‘he can look forward to a longer exist"ence on earth--what matters much more is that he’ll have a much more active life.’--Sir Henry Tizard, K.C.B., F.R.S., speaking in a BBC scientific programme.
