An interesting issue that may benefit from some discussion is the
observed difference in male/female lifespan.
Is this observed in species other than humans?
Do the ageing curves parallel each other with respect to causes of death?
Are there predominant causes that trivialize the question?
Are the curves parallel once a certain age is reached?
Are the curves of cognitive decline similar in males and females?
Potential relationships to hormone production and lifestyles?
