What surprises me more is that life expectancy went up so high in the first
half of the 20th century -- continuing a trend from the 19th -- in the West,
but then seemed to level off in the upper 70s. Why didn't the trend
continue, especially since the estimate for maximum human lifespan is about
125 years?

Any ideas? explanations? corrections? speculations? rants?
