How long are human beings supposed to live for?

Question

How long are human beings supposed to live for?

Answer 1

Well the expected life expectancy for humans is hard to gauge right now because of advances in technology.  We're continually living longer.  The average lifespan right now is about 75 years.  Women on average live 5-10 years longer than men.  I think usually men are in the low 70s while women are in the high 70s.  In the future though people are expected to live about 150 years.  So I don't know how long we're supposed to live.

Answer 2

well this depends on many factors, such as your country, health status, etc.

in places such as Japan,Australia, Canada, Italy, hong Kong and Sweden,have a life expectancy rate of 80-85... where as places such as Zambia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Rwanda, Chad, and South aftrca only have life expectancy rates of 40-50 years.

hope that helps!!  

Answer 3

i don't think there's a "supposed to".

some families have good genes, that get some of them up into their 90s.

a few live longer than that, but it's fairly rare.

consider, 2000 years ago, maybe 30 was norm.

after that, you weren't particularly productive, and were more a drag than a benefit for society --> your family.

so if you're in your 60s, you're working on your evolutionary 3rd lifetime.

stop complaining.  ;-)
