Obviously you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to imply that medical
interventions are applicable only in early and mid-life.
I mean that medical interventions like antibiotics and vaccines have done
more to extend human life-expectancy than anything else. They have extended
our life-expectancy far beyond that stage that we moderns currently consider
mid-life.
