RE: Annual Report Shows Overall Decline in U.S. Cancer Death

["Flanigan, Floyd" <Floyd.Flanigan@FERNALD.GOV>]

Let us not forget the statistical outcast on the longevity playing field, those little old people in the mountains of Tibet whom, without the benefit of medical care live well into their 100's. So, yes Susan, I agree with you with that exception.

Although Floyd's statement is true, it is also true that the longer you

live, the longer your life expectancy will be (statistically speaking). 

This due to better preventive medicine and medical advances.  We know

we'll be in serious trouble when life expectancy begins to decline in

the US.
