My point was that when someone says the "life expectancy is 45" that does not mean that everyone dies at 45.

We cannot "optimize" our evolution for different traits. Evolution is optimization to the environment. We cannot use human thought to optimize evolution, and that is eugenics anyway so no thanks.

I was anthropomorphizing the natural process of evolution, not suggesting eugenics. I thought that would be obvious, but apparently not.
