969...Happy 100th Birthday

It just may happen.

At least to your kids.

A Danish study that Bradley Bouzane of Canwest News Service writes about in tomorrow's papers says that half of babies born in this millenium will live to be 100.

The University of Southern Denmark's Aging Research Center's study looked at The Great White North and seven other nations: the United States, Japan, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and the U.K.

The key is increased and better health care, especially in the young and even before birth.

Something like pneumonia, which was a death sentence less than a century ago, is relatively benign in 2009.
