There are a lot of questions that need to be asked. Are more young people on meds than older generations were? Are medical interventions that save lives from infancy on inadvertently leading to a weaker genertic pool? For instance, the if members of the Silent Generation survived to grow up, it was without penicillin, etc. My mother's mother had many children to die in infancy. Those are hard questions, but unless everything can be addressed, we won't know why more young people are dying.
