Best Answer

Albino people within normal society do not have a shorter life span. They lead perfectly normal lives.

However, albinos in Burundi, Africa, are almost guaranteed a shorter life span. They are the subject of brutal hunts by witch doctors who murder them to use their body parts, believing that their albinism gives them special curative properties for conditions such as AIDS. The only way these people can survive is by sheltering at a refuge that has been set up for them in Ruyigi, where they are protected by armed police.
