fraction.

We think the best way to get these missing years is to look at the cultures around the world that are actually experiencing them, areas where people are living to age 100 at rates up to 10 times greater than we are, areas where the life expectancy is an extra dozen years, the rate of middle age mortality is a
fraction
of what it is in this country.

of that cost, and we can send and receive huge quantities of information without it costing anything.
