32 Years to Live?

I was looking for something to post on and I came across this article about new life expectancy predictions in Africa as well as other countries. The site is pretty interesting and states that Africa’s new projected life expectancy rate is around 32 years old, with Sierra Leone being ranked among the lowest countries. One of the reasons researchers predict Africa's life expectancy to go down is becuase of the AIDS epidemic we have been studying in class. There are 2 charts in the article that show the top ten highest countries for life expectancy and then a chart of the ten lowest. I found the site to be pretty interesting, so go check it out.
