No one will die stupidly at 20 from cancer

You didn't specifically state anything about non-fatal degenerative diseases, but I kind of took this line as being diseases, period are not such a problem with the Device. Currently, I am thinking that a world without the fear of losing your mind when you get old would be a very, very nice place to live, so that really influenced my decision.

I'm also extremely intrigued at the global average being EVERYONE'S actual life span. Because, damn. If that doesn't get people to care about diseases, poverty, and war in other countries - or, hell, other parts of their own country - I don't know what would.
