Document Summary

Death: controversial: all structures of brain have ceased. However, we now can have someone on life support. Organ transplantation: short window of time where the organ have get enough blood so that they are still alive. We can keep people alive beyond the point of meaning . Reduced vision :as brain starts to die, you will lose peripheral vision. Vaccines spread across the world in 1955-2025 that infant mortality rate dropped in 2025: fewer deaths of under 5, more deaths of over 65. Developer world in 2025- 85 percent of deaths over high ( no longer younger ages)- lead to an increase in ageism. We use to glorify age as wise but now it has become something to be feared. Compression of morbidity it"s not about living longer, it is about compression of morbidity( morbidity: time of disability prior to death) we want to live healthily before we die.
