Which is sort of meaningless because nobody has a 24/7 watch over their life.This thing we call life has is good moments, bad moments, and all in between, but there's no predictability of what is going to happen in the next 10 minutes or the next 10 years.
Why not leave it as it is -- why not be positive even if science proves some day something that I think could lead us down the eugenics path...
Sure, there's been laughable "tests" out there on the web that if you add up x y and z your actual life expectancy is 30.
Admittedly there are factors -- smoking, yes, weight (don't like that one, personal..), fitness, heart conditions, etc...
Would you really want to know your own eulogy ?
I mean I hope it would be really good...-- Jay
