Gourt > Health > Aging > Life Expectancy (1)
Life expectancy is the average number of years remaining for a living being (or the average for a class of living beings) of a given age to live. Life expectancy is also called average life span or mean life span, in distinction to maximum life span. Life expectancy should not be confused with median survival time (the time at which 50% of a cohort will have died).
Although it is common usage to talk about life expectancy of any living being ranging from trees, insects, dogs, stroke victims, to mine workers, this article focuses on human life expectancy in general, that is, the aging and longevity profile of the human species.

@commercialscott That is a difficult one. I think the key is to think long term. A building has a longer life expectancy than the recession
