[bafcitpe] Life expectancy of people who are still alive

Given actuarial tables of life expectancy for every age, calculate the average life expectancy of everyone currently alive.  Is this value different from the regular computation of life expectancy (whatever that is)?  Or average age of death of everyone who died in the past year.  It would seem that infant mortality would have less of an effect because they are not alive to contribute a zero.
