Quote
There is no more vivid example of the extremes of life than with the subject of death.
As part of the BBC's Extreme World series, our correspondent Mark Doyle has been to one of the poorest countries in the world, where life expectancy is just 40 years.
A country where pain relief for those nearing the end of their life is in short supply.
The country is Sierra Leone and Mark reports from the capital Freetown.


The guy in the video said that children mortality is pulling down the average, but I really doubt statisticians don't take this in mind when calculating the average.

I'd move. Go somewhere nice, like DRC.

Article is from 2011.

Surely things have changed since then. No civilized nation would allow another to let this sort of thing happen.

This, why would you want to live longer there?
