We are living longer, the average lifespan of Americans born now is 78. Is this a good thing?

Americans do not have the longest average lifespan...Japan and Singapore are the leaders at 82.

Close behind Japan is France, Sweden, Italy, Australia and Canada all of these countries have expected lifespans over 80.

The other side of the coin, due to the Aids epidemic, a baby born in Zimbabwe can expect to live just shy of 40.
