GuestI think that John is right.
The natural limit of human life is about 130 years. New technology can extend it beyond that.
There are always risks in replacing organs. The best way to live long is to not abuse your body.
I believe that the best way to live long to is maintain the same weight you had in college for the rest of your life. Very hard for most folks to achieve.
Centenarians are the least expensive to care for, overall. The people with chronic diseases are the expensive ones.
Living to 100
What’s the secret to living longer? Is it exercise, a healthy diet, or just good genes? We revisit a conversation with Dr. Thomas Perls, director of the New England Centenarian Study. He studied 1,500 centenarians and shares what he learned from them.
I took the test and my life expectancy is 96. Sounds about right in my family. With medical advances, maybe I’ll live to 130.

Participant[quote=NeetaT]
I can now commiserate with people who try to hide income. Let’s punish initiative. This is truly socialism in its most profound form.[/quote]I understand that socialism is a fun word to throw around for those opposed to the current administration. But when using tax rates as evidence, it really becomes an assine assertion. Is a 35% tax rate not socialism, and a 40% rate is? Or is the dividing line 43% or 50%?
Socialism, by the way, refers to government ownership of the production and distribution of goods and services. We are as far away from socialism as any nation on earth. (And please don’t point at current health care reform, either current or even recent versions as evidence of movement towards socialism. None of them contained anything more than a speck of socialism.)

ParticipantWhile I appreciate Johns trust in my field, we as a race will never cure death. It wont happen. This is Star Trek science, I only wish it was true.
We need to confront our fear of death. It will happen. We will not be able to cure everything, and even if we can replace some parts of our whole, we will not be able to replace everything.
