  Hi DoC, depending on the definition of the generation, which has changed quite a bit:
  
  1960's definition: "everyone who was 15 years or older when ww1 started", they're all dead.
  
  1981 definition: "everyone who was 10 years or older when ww1 started", there's only 6 people left alive.
  
  1983 definition: "everyone who was alive when ww1 started", there are potentially over a million people in this definition. They die pretty darn quickly, however, and in just 6 years we will be looking at only around 1000 people left (2024), and by 2034, barring nearly a miracle, all will be dead.
  
  "overlapping generation definition": who knows but potentially it could include millions of JW's, so they bought themselves at least 50 years.
  
  Of course, at the end of the day, it's all garbage.
