it is in the range 60-80 and many people like to increase that.

The two major mission critical systems (the heart and brain) can not 
repair damage.

You forget the mice.

The age at which woman can give birth is rather low. The age where there 
is an increases change of getting children with birth defects still 
lower. In some countries that age is coming close to the age of getting 
the first child. Furthermore I think the interfacing (both to other 
humans and to equipment) leaves a lot to be desired. But the question 
was not what I want but if there is improvement planned but not 
realized. Just to decide whether we are in alpha or in early beta.
