Yes, this is possible. Us idiot guys just don't get it. Look at that the average female diet compared to a male. From alcohol to red meats men are eating their way in to oblivion. Females are far more likely to be proactive in protecting their long-term health while the idiot male will not regularly go to the doctor. Even when a guy has symptoms of a problem he will ignore them until his body just gives out. This is why married men live longer, his wife makes him got to the doctor and eat more healthily not to forget the companionship.
All you lazy guys that don't like to do house work, women's life are longer because she stays more active over her life time just doing basic housework. Believe it or not women get personal satisfaction from maintaining her environment that leads to better mental health, which also lengthen her life. The activities of women such gardening, walking, and caring for her families are all activities that bring about a longer healthier life.
Men need to wake and start acting more like women in this post industrialized modern technological era if he wants to live a better quality of life. Actually the smaller gentler mild mannered man can live just as long as his female counter parts through living a similar life style as a woman.
Men wake up and smell the java... Women will eventually inherit the earth while men are stuck in convalescent homes.
By the way how did religion come into this? It is not about living forever. It is about the quality of life while you are living. The world is what we make it. With all the fatalism and negative thinking I am not surprised so many people feel their lives are not worth living.

I would be interested in where you got that information from. What about males, will they live to 150 too. My argument is that it is only worthwhile living to 150 if you can prolong youth, if all science does for you is keep you alive it is not much good. If they do manage to extend life expectancy they will have to prolong fertility because it will not be much good if we can only have children until 52, in the past our fertility died with us, as the average women life expectancy was 49 100 years ago. If science can keep people heartily longer and fertility going on until we are 100 then maybe it would be worth it, but personally I do not want to live much past 50 with all the problems and ageism we have to face.
Any case with all this obesity I would say we are becoming a less healthy race, and our life expectancy will decrees if anything.

I did not know that since after all most people die around 80 years old or so. In the bible back way back when some folks lived some 300 years. Now it does say it is appointed unto man once to die so, I wonder does it really matter when? I mean, we try so hard to prolong death but, I know where I am going and to me, I don't fear death, I kind of look forward to it because once I die, I live the after life which is way much better than this life ever could be. Death is my one time friend, I might even thank him a whole bunch! Death is a one way ticket home!

Even if it's true - who would want to? I've lived a fair time and the thought of living to 150 is awful!

Good grief - that'll be a long retirement! Hope the old eyesight and hearing hold out, otherwise they're going to get pretty bored.

What's freaky is that people actually believe this stuff. What you claim is not true...I would seriously question the source of your information.

that's just probably 50
it was perhaps an 'L' before fifty that u misread. don't think anymore than 2% of human beings on the whole, can live that long.
