And so what's happening with longevity is it's increasing dramatically, it's beautiful, right? So for men, life expectancy is around 78 years in the United States, for women, it's around 83 years. And that is a dramatic shift from even 100 years ago. So we are doing great in terms of longevity overall. But we're doing terrible when you look at actual healthy years of living. Because the longer we... well, first of all, no one wants to live long with disease and suffering. It's all about healthy years anyway, that would be people who have, you know, taken care of older relatives know that you don't want to live long when you're suffering. So really, the longer we live, the more likely we are to get dementia, and disability, and need to, you know, live in institutions, etc.
