An odd topic, granted.
I am currently pondering this subject as I approach the 'mid-life' crisis stage of my life.
I think I'll be lucky to hit 70, all things considered.
However, that is around 30 years away. My question is, will medicine be that much more advanced in 30 years that dying at 70 would be unusual ?

For christ's sake - MODS - please edit the title to Dying ! 
No dont. Then you can increase your page count for all the spelling Nazis.Look at the gravestones of the 18th century and all the men/woman of the time. The target of 40 seemed to be a good goal.
I dont see 70 as old age any more..90 IS old not 70. Maybe in 20/30 years time the average age of death will be 85.
Main trouble is (and backed by reports) that we may be reaching that age but the body is strong but the brain is weak.
