Answer to Question 1

The short answer is no. Mortality rates are a good way to judge how healthy people were and are.Most people today live longer than their ancestors.This translates to Americans being healthier today than in the past.

Answer to Question 2

Scientists have reached the frontier of genetic engineering. We are about to cross over.Some worms have had their life spans extended by six times through manipulating genes.Eventually, might this not be possible for people?Spare body parts may be able to be grown from stem cells to replace theparts that wear out.Nanorobots may roam our bodies, constantly repairing cell damage and keeping us young.Greatly extended life spans may permit the good health and creative aging of many of today's elderly to continue over many, many years.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
