Mortality refers to       a. the number of cases of disease per unit of population occurring over a unit of time.     b. the first occurrence of menstruation.     c. the number of deaths attributable to a particular cause per unit of population over a unit of time.     d. the statistical likelihood of a person dying from a particular cause.   Studies indicate that humans were physically active in our evolutionary past.  True  False
When people think about living to an age far outside of normal expectations – say to 120 or even 150 years of age – they tend to think about their own lives and what they would do with such time. Extending the human lifespan to such lengths, however, might have drastic implications for public policy and the planet as a whole. Do you think that such an increased lifespan would be good for the population? Why or why not? Be thorough in your discussion of these factors.
