Question: Are they right? Scientists say left-handers die sooner (SOURCE – The Detroit News , 1991) Southpaws face more than share of woe living in a world that is biased to the right. Now there’s a new worry: Scientists say they have found that left-handers die nine years sooner on average than right-handers. Researchers examined randomly selected death records of 987 people in Southern California. The researchers said right-handers, about 94% of the group, died at an average age of 75. The left-handers died at an average age of 66. The researchers found that left-handers were six times more likely to die from an accident and four times more likely to die while driving a vehicle. (Note that other research has failed to substantiate these claims.)
