Why pick a hundred year horizon? All of human history gives quite a bit more leeway, no?



A hundred years was being generous (in the 1920s modern medicine was fairly recognisably taking shape). If you want to make it five hundred years or a millennium ago then be my guest.


And what would be the answer then? Where would it be safer somewhere in history than it is now?


Maternal mortality in the US has generally been considered to either be flat or rise over the last few decades.
