Sure, but it's not the same as 25 years old being mid-life.

I feel like you're just excited to share a fact about a common misconception rather than actually paying attention to what's being said. Infant mortality is still a bad thing. While it's true folks lived about as long less infant mortality is still a net improvement.

I'm paying attention. I feel like you just want to point out that it's a common misconception rather than engage with the fact that dying at 51 is very different from child mortality.
