"Biological immortality is possible," says Walker. "If you don't get hit by a car or by lightning, you could live at least 1,000 years."
Interesting that the definition of immortality is living 1000 years.

- sliverstorm 16y agoThe reasons his idea of immortality has an end time may be for other reasons. For example, perhaps you aren't going to die of old age but over the course of time your joints wear and can't repair themselves fully, so you wind up alive and healthy but broken. Or perhaps you inevitably accumulate CO or some other trace toxin in your bloodstream and can't get rid of it. Immortality in his sense I believe simply means you don't die of age, but there are a lot of other ways to die.
