Owner59 -> Living to 125 years old... (11/10/2007 5:43:49 PM)

Can`t remember where,but I heard that most of us will live to be a 100 years old.

With the advance of medical technology,and better living,etc.,I heard that someone born today ,will be able to live to 125 years old.

Has anyone else heard this?

yeh if you live in russia and hoe a field all your life



sophia37 -> RE: Living to 125 years old... (11/10/2007 6:09:56 PM)

Yeah, Im sure you cant remember where you got that idea, because officially I believe its something like 70-75 for men and 77 for women. On the other hand, hook us up to machines and sure! We can live for 125 years. In a chair. Blind. Being hand fed, or trying to eat our napkins while bonking ourselves in our head with our juice glasses. Very entertaining, Im sure our lives will be.

I fully intend to live forever... I will let you know how that goes

That`s today.

I`m 48.By the time I`m in my 70`s,technology and medical advances will be 20 years + farther down the line,and will help prolong everyone`s life .As the theory went,someone born today,will benifit from 60 or 70 years of future technological advances and medical breakthroughs.This is what will allow folks to live to 125.

Just wondering if anyone`s heard this.

Now I forget but some cigar smokin granny may have beat him from arkansas maybe?

i suppose i should just google it lol

Yes, scientists talk about it.... I mean, we have human beings living well into their 100s now.... so, it can be done. The trick is making it routine, and not a misery fest.
 
Insulin ages us....... another reason to cut out those carbs..... [8|]

My own grandmother lived to 105... and she said everything past 98 was no fun at all.... Sorry, but spending your last couple of decades inside a body that's turning into a dried up husk is NOT a dignified way to go. It is my hope to die the way a man should: shot by a jealous husband at age 85.

Uh oh... I have been spending my time looking for a Russian Ho !!

Owner, the story you are thinking of was in a report about how genetics could cure most illness`s..



seeksfemslave -> RE: Living to 125 years old... (11/11/2007 5:25:42 AM)

I have read that in fact there exists within our bodily processes a tendency to run down and eventually "die". The point being that there is a limit to average life expectancy regardless of any scientific advances.
At what age that, on average, is likely to be I dont know.

From my experience there unquestionably is a "time to go". If we live long enough  we come to a point when we are alive but by most definitions not living.

Increases over the last 100 years or so are basically down to hygeine and more food available. Science in its genetic applications has had very little impact. See the failure to do much about cancer.

(CBS) How’s this for an offer you can’t refuse: how would you like to live say, 400 or 500 years, or even more and all of them in perfect health? It’s both a Utopian and a nightmare scenario but there are those who say it is well within the realm of possibility.

Though we live longer and healthier lives than our grandparents, 100 is more or less the outer limit because, catastrophic disease aside, we just plain wear out. But 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer talked to one scientist who says that’s old-fashioned thinking, that sometime in the next 20 to 30 years or so we’ll be able to recondition ourselves for the first steps towards immortality.

CBS) In a quiet Boston suburb, on the appropriately named Elder Road, Esther MacKay has made it to 102 years old - and counting.

Born in 1905, MacKay traveled the world during a long career in the military. Lately she’s been honored as the Air Force’s longest-living chief master sergeant.

For MacKay, there’s no mystery about what’s gotten her this far.

"I had three no-no’s in my rules growing up," she told CBS News technology correspondent Daniel Sieberg. "One was no smoking. Two was no drinking. Three, no sex. That’s it, one, two, three."

Her rules may not be everyone's keys to the good life, but even if you don’t follow the Esther MacKay prescription, your prognosis for living a long life is improving.

Consider how life expectancy has increased over the last two centuries. An average man born in 1800 had a life expectancy of 35 years. In 1900, he would have made it all the way to 47. By 1950, average life expectancy was up to 68 years, and now it’s up to 78.

The trend is definitely favorable. But how far can we take it?

I don’t want to live that long if I live past 75 I’m going to that mobile death clinic in Switzerland.

velvetears -> RE: Living to 125 years old... (11/11/2007 7:37:03 AM)

They really should put their efforts towards more important discoveries like curing cycstic fibrosis so  young people don't die in their 20's from such a horrific disease. i mean really who wants to live that long?  More years you have to haul your now old ass to work everyday, no thanks!  More deaths you will see around you - maybe even your own kids, no thanks.  i have no fear or apprehension about dying.  i want to see my kids grown and doing fine - any time i am allotted after that is gravy for me. 



pahunkboy -> RE: Living to 125 years old... (11/11/2007 7:54:31 AM)

I plan on living till age 82. Hopefully I will feed and toilet myself. If I cant;  put a bullet in my head. [or let me do me]



Raechard -> RE: Living to 125 years old... (11/11/2007 8:06:11 AM)

If you are clever about it you can get a hit man to do it for half price. Insist on 50% upfront and 50% after the job is done. Obviously you have to implement some form of disguise that may be a bit elaborate for your final moments. So many people think of the best way to commit suicide when the answer is so obvious, what better way than when you least expect it and 50% off also.

again if memory serves me it comes down to cell regeneration, that every time they regenerate they degenerate to some extent

Each DNA strand has ties at the end that stop it from unravelling. Free radicals break down these bonds but some have found a way of reducing this chemical reaction and so maintaining the bonds for longer.

I read that somewhere as well but dont remember where, in either Japan or China they have a whole village of people living past their 100s but I cant remember where I read about that either it has a lot to do with their diet but we also have to take into consideration our world is going to shit 90% of our water is bad in most lakes you can find 3 legged frogs or frogs with out legs, people are generally more unhealthy and keep breeding causing the weakening of our spiecies so what is modern medicine going to do? because of modern medicine weaker people survive to reproduce where 150 years ago they didnt, even I would have died at birth, my lungs failed they brought me back, Im not saying its a bad thing just that people are becomming less hardy as they reproduce, we are poisning our planet and ourselves. I would live life to the fullest now because in 150 years we may not exist and thinking our grand children will is a question i dont really like to ask myself 



heartcream -> RE: Living to 125 years old... (11/11/2007 11:39:27 AM)

I would like to live forever too. I am not keen on the aging process, I find it revolting. I would like to vibrate at the speed of light, have all my DNA active and functioning, my brain in tip-top order and basically look and feel better than I do now. I dont mind getting older at all, I find it really cool to gain many experiences and knowledge but the aging thing sux holes in 3D entirely.
