[The Matrix] What's the life expectancy for a human in the Matrix?

Seems like high infant mortality, fatal accidents, suicides, and diseases would be counterproductive.

The average life expectancy for all people in urbanized American environments around the year 1999 (the whole basis of the simulated city) was 76.7 years. There's no reason to think the Matrix would be different, give or take a few years. 

And while indeed, those very unfortunate things can be seen as counterproductive to the machines, they are necessary for the simulation to remain authentic in the eyes of the vast majority of subjects. Too little or too much pain causes the human brain to reject the Matrix, so they must maintain a tightrope balance of plentiful and tragedy to keep the human mind occupied, distracted, and ignorant.
