Editor's Notes
Let ’ s now look at some ancient history. In the Neolithic period – around 5000 BC, mean human life expectancy was only around 20. Although some individuals certainly lived into their 40s and even 50s infant, child and young adult mortality was very high – such that the mean age at death was only 20. It even declined a little during the Bronze Age around 2000 BC – farmers were exposed to animal-borne diseases and probably had inferior nutrition to Neolithic hunter-gatherers. By the time of the ancient Greek and Roman empires, mean life expectancy had risen to 28, but it is salutary to reflect on the implications of the fact that the average Roman woman had to have 4.4 babies to maintain a constant population of Roman citizens. There was only a slight improvement during the Middle Ages and even into late Victorian times mean life expectancy was still under 40 years. However, there have been spectacular changes in life expectancy in the last century, most of them pre-dating the technological advances in medicine in the late 20 th century.
The aging of the population and the trends toward overeating and a more sedentary lifestyle (which lead to a dramatic increase in obeSinglety) are leading to an increase in the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes.

:
We conclude that the mortality rate is high in neurocritical patients and around 21% die in brain death . LTE is applied in 25% of neurocritical cases. The majority of families accept doctors recommendation regarding LTE . Donation information is received in 81% of brain death and 16% of other deaths
But what do they get instead ? What fraction of all deaths take place in the ICU ? In NZ it is 5%, Malcolm tells me that it is 10% in NSW and US data vary widely by state between 10 and 25%. Dying is increasingly being managed as a negotiated business transaction between legally designated surrogates and health-care service providers. Although this modus operandi is American, it is surely metastasising across the Pacific, more rapidly I think into Australia than New Zealand.
