If you were born postmature, will you die sooner?

Question

Will your cells be just that much older than your birthday age, and you'll develop just that much sooner than you would've otherwise?

However, experience with the world can only build up by existing in this world, you can't do that in the womb.

So how old is this baby really?

Is a 12 month old born with hair and a huge body, yet has just seen a face for the first time ever, really older than normal, or just right?

Answer 1

I don't think so. You are still living whether you are inside of the womb, or outside of the womb.

The only thing that being postmature changes is your birth date. That's all.

Answer 2

A pregnancy shouldn't last more than 2 weeks over the due date, the doctor would induce labor to deliver the baby. There is no such thing as a 12 month pregnancy.

At any rate, life expectancies are too variable, so you could not say that being born two weeks later caused you to die two weeks earlier. That's just silly. What a weird question.
