Cave men only lived to about 20 - 30 if that, so I was wondering, with all the medication and such today we've more than trebbled that, so could we Sextupet it. (times by six if i'm in correct about the meaning of Sextupet)

Not in any time forseeable. Death by old age is usually caused by one of your organs giving out, and I don't really see a possible medical way to give your organs more resilience.
You know how if you buy something and use it enough, it will give out or not work anymore, so you have to buy a new one. Our bodies are like that.

Funny how the cells in the human body regenerate. Every year, a whole new you is made; all the old cells are gone, and the new ones take over. Whether skin, or heart, or eyes, hair or intestines, the human body can only rejuvinate the cells to a maximum of 120 times. That's 120 years. We cannot replicate ourselves very well. Think of a copy machine making a copy of a copy of a copy... Entropy Increase (2nd law of thermodynamics) says that all things eventually wear out. There have been stories of some people living to 136, but that may not be true. It may be possible to live to 200 with the right environment and diet and medications, etc., but it's highly improbable.

Yes it is almost a certainty that the lifespan of a normal human could be extended beyond a 1,000 years. The turning point has almost been reached. Go to the Life Extension Foundation's website. Look up Aubrey de Grey's webpage. Check out Practical Scientific Life Extension by Pearson and Shaw (twenty years old but still a classic).

Scientists are working on that right now, some of them believe it's possible. They are testing new methods of living on smaller animals like Worms and rats...they have managed to stretch the lives of those Worms 7 times. Of course none of it is already tested on humans. The only thing that worries me about those experiments is the quality of life. I don't think people who are now hundred years or more, can really say they totally enjoy their lives...

Can't remember the details...but for my psychology of aging class last semester I did a a review of an article addressing the subject of longevity and ugh! I wish I could find it to cite it for you now, but the gist of it is, it may very well be possible to some extent.

of direction it relies upon the place you reside... to hire a 2 mattress condominium interior the city could be 3 hundred+ each and every week yet once you're interior the suburbs like St Kilda, St Kilda East (nevertheless zone a million yet in simple terms out of CBD) it would be possibly 210+ each and every week, in greater advantageous out suburbs could be $one hundred eighty+ each and every week..i as quickly as lived in Dandenong in a 2 mattress unit that grew to become into $one hundred sixty each and every week a minimum of $one thousand for a stable used automobile
