It can be difficult to discuss life expectancy. This is especially true if there are issues like heart disease, cancer or other chronic illnesses. Page 519 in your text has a life expectancy chart that you can complete. After completing this chart, you can choose to discuss your results. Be sure to address the following points:

a. Were you surprised by your life expectancy total?
b. Are there things you can do to improve your total?
c. What do you find more valuable: an increased life expectancy or an increase in quality of life? Why?

a.) No, I was not surprised. Women have a higher life expectancy than men.

b.) Yes, there are some measures I can take to improve my total expectancy.

c.) An increase in quality of life is more valuable to me than an increased life expectancy. My reason for this is; an increased life expectancy does not actually guarantee a longer life. It is only an estimated figure. On the other hand, an increase in quality of life means a happier and more fulfilling life. I have more control over the latter than over the former.
