People with money and better access to healthcare are more fit than those without this access to healthcare. So you see, America is too smart for most to realize. By creating this split of people with healthcare access, they are effectively carrying out survival of the fittest in favor of the wealthier and (idealistically) smarter citizens.<br/><br/>Canada is dumbing down our species.<br/><br/>Without the facetious tone here, I'd be a pretty strong advocate for eugenics.

Canada is dumbing down our species.

So we must conclude that medicine has allowed the weak to survive and propagate, weakening the genetic pool, ultimately causing the extinction of the human race.

High rates of childhood mortality tend to skew the life expectancy statistics downward.

I'd beg to offer that they would have lived longer w/ a trauma surgeon and well staffed ER near by. I’d use the term ‘survive’ loosely Anon 12:14, the avg life expectancy of a Neanderthal was 20 yrs.
