First human to live to 1,000 has already been born?

http://www.healthnewsblog.com/blog/418061

Just something to think about, do you believe this?? I think it would be amazing if we could actually live to 1000 (if we don't become incredibly frail and old that is.) But something doesn't seem right about it, i mean, surely times before us calorie intake would have been minimal. Wouldn't that mean people have already been living to 1,000?

 

i dont think so it seems impossible to live 1000 years ecouse of different thing like diseases animals and of course age and the fact that your body is getting older

 

its impossible to live so long. With years humanity has been able to live longer but living 1000 years is something we are not going to achieve.

 

I think it may be possible one day. The myth behind vampires is that they supposedly stay young because of the blood intake renewing their body and i know this is a myth, but if we can catch old age while we are young and use stem cell research to continue to renew our FULL body just as a child does as it grows and before our body says it's time to stop replacing the old with the new, then maybe we would make it to 1000. Farfetched but i think it'll be possible someday.

 

Haven't you read the bible... lots of humans have already lived to 1000.

 

Have you read lord of the rings? Sauron is over 3255 years old. Dead now though, those bastard kiwi's killed him.

 

yeah... and even that wasnt enough for Frodo, he then moved to London and got involved with football hooligans, there's no limit to that little hairy footed gremlin's bloodlust.

 

Yeah but they cheated, God spilled CHEMICAL X while making them

 

Damn Frodo 'BigFoot' Baggins!

 

People in the past tend to live longer.
And it's possible that our ancestors lived until >1000 Years old
Just see our grandparents, they live usually until 70-80, but our parents usually live until 45-60.
And i think it's because they live healthier, and the genetic may come to take the role.

 

There is so much factually wrong with that, that I don't know where to start.
Oh wait, yes I do.

Seriously, just because your grandparents lived to 70, and your parents may have died at 60, means very little in the grand scheme of average life expectancies. People tend to take anecdotal evidence and draw unrealistic conclusions from them.

As far as 1000+ year humans. No, it didn't happen in the past. And I doubt humans will ever live that long. And even if they eventually do, the humans born now are not anywhere near that capability. Scientists say stupid things all the time. Just look at Discovery Channel or TLC when it comes to those "black hole on the earth" episodes talking about how a black hole appearing near earth would cause people to be taller because it's gravity will pull you towards it. (Laughable, yet they said it seriously).

 

people have been living longer back then it was because the world back then have less polution, plus daily life back then was hard work (famer, blacksmith, soilder, capenter, ect ect), which indirectly contirbute to a stronger body and healthier life.

compare that to current life style, lazy office work, fast food and next to no physical activities thanks to morden technology (car, elevator, escalator and ect ect).

plus, unless you live like a king, i see no point in having a longer lifespan, i certain dont look forward to work for 1000 years.

 

You, like usual, look like you have no idea what you're talking about.

Blacksmith? Yeah.. Breathing in all that coal smoke throughout the day is amazing! Farmers? Not EVERYONE was a farmer, and even if you were, it didn't = a good life. Soilder[sic] had really long life expectancy being killed. Carpenter? Probably one of the less stressful jobs you can imagine.

Modern life has a much higher life expectancy than any current time due to major advances in medical science -- that is the only reason your grandparents lived to 70+ -- smoking wasn't deemed a health risk 50 years ago, when now it has major issues. Pollution? Well, hell, it was AWFUL 100 years ago during the industrial revolution with smog clouds from all the coal factories. Seriously, do some research.

 

are you sure we are talking about the same thing? i was talking about those day when morden technology havnt been invented yet.

you know the time when people walk for miles instead of driving.

 

400 years ago? Yeah. People lived around 40 years. And even then we had horseback riding.

1000 years? Horses still existed. How far do you want to go back? And past that there's basically no record on how long people could live.

You really have to specify everything, because you're just being vague and general. Egypt and rome 1000 years ago would have lived a lot longer than Britain.

 

not rome... they liked to put lead in there food.

 

also how do average lifespan are calculated? death vs living? if that the case, if a war or plague break out, the people would seem to have a shorter lifespan while in real, people keep on living past thier so call average lifespan.

because lack of medical science, people back then die easily (open wound, disease, war, ect), but you cant just say people dont live long because of that.

afterall the average lifespan now day is 70+ and yet people keep on living past 80 or 90 natually.

 

You're talking gibberish.

 

key word: average.
afterall the average lifespan now day is 70+ and yet people keep on dying before 60 or 50 natually.

 

Unless we can stop the brain from..rotting...I don't think anyone would want to live this long.

Your body would be useless, and your mind would be worse off...you'd be a vegtable on natural birth right


Everything expires at some point for a reason...unless we had cyborg technology or digitally impant our minds into machines...ad even those don't last forever...even if stored online...
