Hoping to be Average

Time:
An American born today has a projected average lifespan 20 full years longer than one born in 1925.
Dad was born in 1925 and will be celebrating his 90th birthday in June. He doesn't have any great-grandchildren yet, but if they do come along science says that they'll live to at least 110!

(OK, ok, one shouldn't extrapolate from a single data point, but it wouldn't be the first time that I've misused math to give me the answer I want.)
