if most people lived up to 140 we would be so overpopulated it would be a disaster. and to think people can't find jobs now. you have all these elderly people that are forgotten and thrown into nursing homes. plus who wants to live to be 140, when the likelihood of all your friends and family will be long gone, and you are alone. that would be a terrible way to exist. i'm glad the life expectancy is around 65. thank God!
