Option 1: It can be difficult to discuss life expectancy. This is especially true if there are issues like heart disease, cancer or other chronic illnesses. Page 519 in your text has a life expectancy chart that you can complete. After completing this chart, you can choose to discuss your results. Be sure to address the following points:

Were you surprised by your life expectancy total?
Are there things you can do to improve your total?
What do you find more valuable: an increased life expectancy or an increase in quality of life? Why?
Option 2: In chapter 19, you will find a figure that shows a graphical representation of what participants in a study reported to be their rank-ordering of priorities as they age. In this discussion, explain how you believe that younger generations (25-65) could learn valuable life lessons from adults in late life (66-105). Consider the following factors:

Family
Health
The importance of life
Friends
