I Hope to Die at 75
- melling 6y agoJohn McCain’s mother died last month at 108. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberta_McCain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberta_McCain Personally, I’d say the human body easily has 100 years in it. We need to make an effort to tackle a few diseases and understand why some people live much longer than others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Zone
- Someone 6y agohttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/704080v2 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/704080v2: “Supercentenarian and remarkable age records exhibit patterns indicative of clerical errors and pension fraud […] In the United States supercentenarian status is predicted by the absence of vital registration. In the UK, Italy, Japan, and France remarkable longevity is instead predicted by regional poverty, old-age poverty, material deprivation, low incomes, high crime rates, a remote region of birth, worse health, and fewer 90+ year old people. In addition, supercentenarian birthdates are concentrated on the first of the month and days divisible by five: patterns indicative of widespread fraud and error.”

- knaq 6y agoMost amusing is that Biden will be 77. Emanuel has plans?
