Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 17:14:14 -0700 in Message #13610, Mike Perry comments after considering some lifespan statistic tables: >> Anyway, if we suppose the chance of dying in 10 years was 1 in 50 rather than 1 in 37, it would still be a good reason to sign up. >> I agree that 1 in 50 is probably in the ball park. Prior to your check on the stats I would have guessed 1 in 1,000 for a healthy person to die between the ages of 39 and 49. I think 1 in 50 is a darn good reason to sign up soon. Thanks for the info!
