You wouldn't have anything left and no lawyers would touch you though.

[QUOTE=Clementine;35692275]Does this that, on average, in 2030 people will be dying at the age of 87, or that the people born in 2030 will, on average, live to 87?[/QUOTE]

Look at the top of the chart. It details life expectancy at 30. So if you're 30 in 2030, you can be expected to live to be about 87.

But of course the problem with these predictions is that they can't know exactly how medical technology will evolve in the next 18 years. By that point we might collectively accept stem cell technology, we might be growing and cloning new organs to replace our aging ones, maybe even replacing body parts with mechanical alternates in some cases. If the same study is done 10 years from now I guarantee the life expectancy for 30 year olds in 2030 will have gone up.
