Before antibiotics, before cardiovascular medicine, before insulin, before cancer drugs, before kidney dialysis, before modern emergency surgery techniques, people DID die at a far younger age. However, the age when one acts like a mature, reasoning adult, in control over his or her behavior, and the age when one dies, are probably not strongly related to each other. The fact that we - in general - live longer, doesn't privilege us to behave like children longer.
