Personally, from what I've learned through books and the internet. life as we know it is very special and unique. From our solar system, there is no other life like human beings exist anywhere. As such, our life here on earth should be celebrated every day.

Most folks on average in the US are dead well before age 85. Death-rate accelerates from later ages 60-s, with the more rapid die-off after age 75. Very small proportions actually live longer than age 85. Life expectancy in the United States has declined for the first time in more than two decades. "Moreover, because life expectancy is an average, a particular person may die many years before or many years after the "expected" survival. The term "maximum life span https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_life_span"; has a quite different meaning and is more related to longevity." -Wikipedia Life expectancy is defined statistically as the mean number of years remaining for an individual or a group of people at a given age. Longevity refers to the characteristics of the relatively long life span of some members of a population. Maximum lifespan is the age at death for the longest-lived individual of a species. Data from the National Center for Health Statistics https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db267.htm showed a drop for men from 76.5 years in 2014 to 76.3 in 2015, and from 81.3 to 81.2 for women. The preliminary figures show rises in several causes of death, especially heart disease, dementia and accidental infant deaths. The figures show a mixture of factors. Death rates have risen for eight out of 10 of the leading causes of death: heart disease (0.9% rise), chronic lower respiratory diseases (2.7% rise), unintentional injuries (6.7% rise), stroke (3% rise), Alzheimer's disease (15.7% rise), diabetes (1.9% rise), kidney disease (1.5% rise) and suicide (2.3% rise).
