[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is guaranteed.  I lost my mother when I was 6. She was 28 when I was born and that was only after cancer treatment.  The cancer wasn't supposed to come back but it did and she died at 34.

There are no guarantees in life.    [/quote]
That’s like saying you might die in a car accident even if you’re wearing a seatbelt, so what difference does it make if you decide not to wear one?[/quote]
No it's not! pp is giving an example of a young mother who died young. She was 6 when her mom died. The story shows that age is no guarantee. Here is another example: my friend and I are the same age. My mom was 27 when I was born, her mom was 54 when she adopted my friend. Our moms died the same year. We had the same amount of time with our moms. We were 38 when they died, my mom was 65, her mom was 92.[/quote]

NP. Apparently you don’t like math or facts or statistics. If you have a baby when you are older, you are more likely to die when they are younger, your anecdotal stories aside.

If you don’t wear a seatbelt and are involved in a dangerous crash, you are more likely to be seriously harmed or die.

If you have to explain your weird and incongrous analogy, you are the dim one.[/quote]
That “NP” means new poster. It was not the same poster. It was someone else who understands that while there will always be exceptions, statistically, people are more likely to die in their 50s and 60s than their 30s and 40s. Furthermore, every year that passes, you are one year closer to your death regardless of your age at death. The later in life you have a child, the less time they will have you in their life, assuming that child enjoys a typical lifespan. Yes, you may die at 36 or 106. Still, your risk of dying is higher at 46 than at 36, higher at 56 than at 46, higher at 66 than at 56, etc. The fact that some people die in their twenties doesn’t change any of that.[/quote]
